Wind Turbines That Double or Triple Power Production
An aerospace company in Massachusetts is developing a new turbine that could be efficient enough to actually produce two to three times the amount of power generated from other turbines on the market. The concept is to force air around the turbine blades instead of through them.
The wind will be channeled into a vortex that will spin the blades and generate power. The company is hoping to have a prototype working within the next 18 months. You can find more information about this new concept in a article on the GreenTechMedia website.
