Bladelesswindturbine 161123184636 PDF

This document describes a bladeless wind turbine that generates electricity through vortex shedding. It works by using the natural vortex shedding phenomenon that occurs when wind flows past a bluff body. The turbine has a circular structure that vibrates due to alternating vortices. A magnetic coupling system is used to transfer the vibrations to an alternator to generate electricity. It is more economical than traditional wind turbines due to its smaller size and lower costs. However, its efficiency is lower. Potential applications include power generation at homes, farms, remote areas and industries.

INTRODUCTION
• Wind power has become a useful 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 percent


lesser in cost compared with conventional wind turbines.
VORTEX TURBINE
History of bladeless power generation
• In 2002, Spanish inventor David Yanez saw a short film about
the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in the U.S. Strong winds caused
the bridge to collapse in 1940.
Other similar incidents
Vorticity and Vortex Shedding Effect
• PRINCIPLE :Vortex shedding is an oscillating flow that takes place
when a fluid such as air or water flows past a bluff (as opposed to
streamlined) body at certain velocities, depending on the size and shape of
the body. In this flow, vortices are created at the back of the body and
detach periodically from either side of the body.
• Vortex shedding behind a circular cylinder. In this animation, the flow on
the two sides of the cylinder are shown in different colors, to show that the
vortices from the two sides alternate.

Flywheel coupled to alternator
ALTERNATOR
• The alternator is driven by the power wheel via the belt
drive. The generator is designed by using a ceiling fan
stator which consists of 16 set of windings.

Advantages
Disadvantages
• The efficiency of the energy absorbed from the
wind is comparatively less than that of the
conventional wind turbine.
• The requirement of control systems for
controlling the oscillation to meet the natural
frequency of the mast and control of the
frequency at higher velocity winds. The height of
the mast can be increased based on the output
required.
Capabilities
Applications
Industries
Remote telemetry
Schools
Farms
Houses
Off-Grid Power for Rail Signalling
Off-grid Lighting
Conclusion
In summary, the generation of electricity is
made possible by the small structure of
bladeless turbine. High efficient power is
generated. This project will satisfy the need of
continuous generation of electricity. The
overall project uses less space area hence
highly economical for the rural electrification
of India.
