When looking at our environment we could easily observe the influence of each one of the machines, tools or devices that manage to work thanks to the injection of electric current, this aspect has made man throughout history to make constant innovations in the generation of electric energy, and with it, the incessant search for the diversification of any type of source of generation of this energy
For such diversification man has relied on essential tools of observation and experimentation such as science and technology, thus ratifying the conceptual aspect related to the fact that technology is nothing more than applied science, and each one of us are reliable witnesses of this assertion, and every day that passes we observe it more and more
One of the most important sources, and therefore, the most used for the generation of energy can be found in hydrocarbons, however, this type of fossil fuel originates in the process of generating electricity a large amount of CO2 emissions, one of the main causes or reasons why it has been tried to locate or design other forms or sources of energy generation
In a previous article we were able to link with another way to generate electricity through the collection of solar rays, for this we highlight the implementation of a very new technological tool known as Smarflower and its characteristic shape for a better use at the time of the accumulation of solar energy and that it is converted into electricity, and this time we will know in a general way to another technological application such as the wind turbine without blades or blades
Bladeless wind turbine
Man through his remarkable scientific-technological history has demonstrated that he can design any type of machine or tool with the knowledge acquired from our environment, environment that in many opportunities has been threatened by such inventions or creations, however, a considerable percentage of these people try to look for an adequate balance of the unfavorable action towards our mother nature.
This is the reason why we find important designs such as this type of clean energy generating source through wind turbines without blades, many of us have probably at some point been able to observe the giant devices with blades or propellers rotating due to the influence of the wind on them and thus generate electricity through the wind capacity of the natural environment where these structures are located.
From the previous generators with blades comes the proposal of this type of wind turbine structure without blades, and they provide several advantages, one of them is represented by its almost no danger to birds because it has no parts in circular motion that can come into contact with them, there are also aspects related to the low need for maintenance because they do not require lubrication, and which must be oriented in the direction of wind.
These structures upon contact with the wind come into resonance and thus begin to vibrate because the external part (cylindrical) is designed to oscillate and this remains subject to a rod or flexible core, the generation of new materials such as carbon fiber allow the design of this type of clean energy generators, so this type of technology captures the energy of the wind around implementing a recognized effect which is called vortex shedding.
This type of energy generation is added to many other proposals that seek to diversify the generation of electricity in the least polluting way possible, and also taking into account the fact that fossil fuel sources represent finite deposits, i.e., exhaustible in time, and for this the scientific-technological field is constantly working to achieve this.
Until another opportunity my dear readers, waiting for your important contributions in this regard and to consolidate the issue raised.
