Commercial property owners can meet the growing demand for renewable energy on site with a revolutionary bladeless wind solution that can be integrated with existing solar energy systems and building electrical systems, thanks to a seamless wind turbine system. external moving parts developed by Aeromine Technologies.
“Aeromine Technologies’ patented bladeless wind power generation system generates up to 50% more energy at the same cost as the rooftop photovoltaic system,” explains the company.
The Aeromine system uses the wind to create a vacuum between two parallel non-moving blades. This aerodynamic depression effect then sucks the air from a duct, inside the roof, in which a turbine that generates electricity is installed. Therefore the dimensions are contained, it can be installed on a roof, it is not noisy and there are no fragile external moving parts.
Also interesting is the fact that Aeromine turbines take up little space on the roofs, about 10%, and are therefore compatible with the installation of traditional photovoltaics. Positioned in the direction of the dominant wind, the turbines can help, together with photovoltaics, to make the building completely autonomous from an energy point of view.
“This is an innovation that adds new value to the rapidly growing rooftop power generation market by helping companies achieve their resilience and sustainability goals with an untapped distributed renewable energy source,” said David Asarnow. , CEO of Aeromine and a veteran of the climate technology industry.
An interesting solution, which perhaps is also evolvable, and which shows how being hasty in energy investments also risks being a waste of money: the development of these technologies is tumultuous and in full swing and better solutions are always around the corner.
