Can bladeless wind turbines mute opposition?
Dominic Bates for The Guardian: A new bladeless wind turbine that promises to be more efficient, less visually intrusive, and safer for birdlife than conventional turbines has been welcomed by two of the UK wind energy industry’s most vocal critics.
The RSPB and the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE), which have both expressed concerns over the impacts of industrial-scale windfarms on the landscape and wildlife, said the new turbine was encouraging news for birds and had the potential to open up more urban environments to the sector.
The streamlined design contains no contacting moving parts, making it virtually noiseless and less prone to vibration. Vortex Bladeless, the turbine’s Spanish developers, hopes these advantages could finally help usher in a viable consumer wind power market.
“Wind turbines now are too noisy for people’s backyard,” says David Suriol, who co-founded the company with Raul Martin and the turbine’s inventor, David Yáñez. “We want to bring wind power generation to people’s houses like solar power.”

World Congress and Exhibition on Wind Energy
OMICS International cordially invites all the participants from all over the globe to attend the "World Congress and Exhibition on Wind Energy" at Berlin, Germany during June 16 - 18, 2016 with the theme of "Future Wind Energy Technologies". Wind energy is extracted from air flow using wind turbines to produce electrical power. Wind energy as an alternative to fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation and uses little land. The effects on the environment are generally less problematic than those from other power sources. Wind Energy-2016 is all about Planning, Operating, Grid integration, Aero dynamic noise cancellation, Urban wind Energy promotion, and future prospects of wind energy. Wind Energy - 2016 will also include advancing international knowledge transfer in Ice monitoring and early protections, challenges and case studies of wind energy.
