INTRODUCTION

 Wind power has become a legitimate source of energy over

the past few decades as larger, more efficient turbine designs
have produced ever-increasing amounts of power .

 In conventional wind power generation transportation is

increasingly challenging because of the size of the components.

 Bladeless turbines will generate electricity for 40% lesser in

cost compared with conventional wind turbines.

 HISTORY

 The Spanish Company named Vortex bladeless has designed a

wind turbine.
 The Vortex effect was first described and mathematically
formalized by Theodore von Kármán, the genius of
aeronautics, in 1911.
 This effect is produced by lateral forces of the wind on any
fixed object immersed in a laminar flow. The wind flow
bypasses the object, generating a cyclical pattern of vortices,
which can become an engineering challenge for any vertical
cylindrical structures, such as towers, masts and chimneys.
 However, it is possible that the same forces can be captured to
produce energy - the idea behind Vortex. 4

MAIN PROTOTYPES
Basically there are 3 main Prototypes.
1. Vortex Atlantis (Micro Power Generation).
2. Vortex Mini (Domestic or Industrial Generation).
3. Vortex Grand (Large scale Power Generation).

ADVANTAGES
 No gears & bearings.

 No lubricants needed, &noise less

 More environmental friendly.

 It reduces foundation at the bottom by 50%.

 Cost of energy production is 40% less than the

conventional turbines.

 Birds can fly around them without fear of being

DISADVANTAGES
 Electrical power generation affected by environmental changes.

 Initial cost is high.

APPLICATIONS
 Industries

 Remote telemetry

 Schools

 Farms

 Houses

 Off Grid Power for Rail Signalling

 Off Grid Lightning

CONCLUSION
 The generation of electricity is made possible by the small structure of bladeless
turbine.

 High efficient power is generated & will satisfy the need of continuous generation of
electricity.

 It uses less space area hence highly economical for the rural electrification of India.

 Further, developments can be done in the mechanism which is converting vibrations

to electricity.
