Wind Turbine Creates a Buzz
GoodCleanTech —
Engineering solutions can often be found by looking to nature, and that's what the designers at Green Wavelength did when creating their bumblebee-inspired wind turbine, the xBee Alpha Wind. A 19-foot prototype of the turbine was shown this week at the Perfect Pitch 2009 entrepreneur conference in Marina del Rey, California. ...

... engine design, the FloDesign Wind Turbine prototype is three times more efficient at turning the wind into electricity than today’s towering, three-bladed models. The cowlings-made turbines direct air into patterns creating spinning vortexes and it accelerates the air when it passes through. The turbine works equally well at lower wind speeds and is indifferent to volatile wind patterns.
