Abstract: Turbine that would provide a quite safe, simple andefficient alternative to our supposedly Bladed Turbine engine is the need of the hour. Bladeless WindPower Generation uses a radically new approach to capturing wind energy. The device captures theenergy of vorticity, an aerodynamic effect that has plagued structural engineers and architects for ages (vortex shedding effect). As the wind bypasses a fixed structure, its flow changes and generates a cyclical pattern of vortices. Once these forces are strong enough, the fixed structure starts oscillating. Instead of avoiding these aerodynamic instabilities the design maximizes the resulting oscillation and captures that energy. Naturally, the design of such device is completely different from a traditional turbine. This technology of the Bladeless Turbines puts it at a very low range of capital intensity. It also makes it highly competitive not only against generations of alternative or renewable energy, but even compared to conventional technologies. Bladeless turbines are also thereenest turbines with almost nil harmful effects on the environment. The bladeless turbine has a promisingfuture as a new power generation system.
