New bladeless wind turbine design could safely generate up to 460 watts of power

SMRTR summary

Researchers at the University of Glasgow have used computer simulations to identify the most efficient designs for bladeless wind turbines (BWTs). Their findings reveal an optimal 80cm tall, 65cm diameter mast that could generate up to 460 watts of power, significantly outperforming current prototypes. BWTs offer advantages like quieter operation, less maintenance, and improved safety for birds compared to traditional turbines.
