Bladeless Wind Turbine
If we have any heavyweights in fluid dynamics out there who would like to comment on this concept, I would appreciate it. It’s a bladeless wind turbine, one that captures energy from the moving air by shaking rather than turning. …
Hydrokinetics – Different Approaches
I am by no means an expert in fluid dynamics or hydrokinetics more specifically, but I must say that I’m happy to be learning more every day about the opportunity that exists in extracting energy from the motion of earth’s …
