4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Unconventional wind generators - Inala Strategic Solar”
Are there alternatives to a 'windmill'?
Six imaginative designs are offering alternatives to the tried-and-true “windmill.” While large wind developers focus on building taller and more powerful conventional wind turbines, several smaller companies—mostly startups—are creating wind generators with multiple, smaller, and oddly shaped blades. Some turbine designs have no blades at all.
Can a wind generator resemble a tree?
Taking a lesson from nature, New World Wind has created a wind generator resembling a tree. Each leaf—or Aeroleaf—is a small, plastic vertical-axis turbine with a microgenerator containing permanent magnets. Designed for microgrids, it can work with AC or adapt to DC. Aeroleaf's tree-like wind device.
Can wind power be used in a microgrid?
Companies like Airloom successfully harvest wind energy with less expense, waste, noise, and environmental impact than traditional wind developments. Some turbine designs are suitable for microgrids or other small-scale uses, while a few startups have ambitions to offer grid-scale power.
What are the different types of wind devices?
The wind devices generally fall into two camps: the vertical axis turbine and the passive flow wind device. However, they differ greatly in size, shape, and intended use. The Windcatcher compared to a traditional wind turbine. Image used courtesy of Wind Catching Systems
