FABRICATION OF BLADELESS WIND TURBINE

It is a new approach in the field of engineering to harness energy from wind. Where in traditional methods we use large blades for the conversion of wind energy into useful mechanical – electrical energy. The problem we have encountered from this approach is, it occupies large amount of space. So the moto of our project is to overcome the problems encountered by using traditional method and to make a device which is capable of producing energy and minimum/effective use of available resources. The device captures the energy of vortices, an aerodynamic effect that has plagued structural engineers and architects for ages (vortex shedding effect). As the air strikes the structure flow changes and generates a cyclical pattern of vortices. At the point at which forces are strong enough the entire cylindrical structure will start to oscillate/revolute, we use the swinging action of device to produce energy. The entire setup consists of a cylindrical shaped GI sheet cylindrical structure, piezo electric crystals base, supporting base, universal coupling, inverter setup and voltmeter. Wind turbines with blade have some major drawbacks so in order remove these types of drawbacks and to increase the capacity of the wind turbines the idea of bladeless wind turbine emerges. When it comes to working as we already know that the oscillating/revolute action is used to produce energy which means as a cylindrical section oscillates, the entire weight of device falls on to the piezo electric crystals which produces piezo electric effect. This is nothing but emission of electrons. In other words, tiny bit of voltage or electric city.
