Vertical Axis Horizontal Blades: A New Type of Wind Turbine

Posted on Thursday, October 30, 2008 posted by posted by visa @ 5:39 AM

The company, Indesmedia (IDM) EOL, based in Cantabria (Northern Spain) is ready to introduce its new type of wind turbine with vertical axis horizontal blades in the market. The company says an important factor considered in designing this new type of wind turbine is to reduce the risk for bats and birds. They rotate at low speeds (under 10 rpm) and the towers are no more than 13 yards high. Other main objectives in developing the turbine are minimizing the visual impact and noise of the wind turbines, simplifying their manufacturing process and installation and finding new spaces where to take advantage from wind energy, such as urban spaces, ships and marine platforms.

  In the beginning, there were algae,
but there was no oil Then, from algae came oil.
Now, the algae are still there, but oil is fast depleting
In future, there will be no oil, but there will still be algae  
So, doesn't it make sense to explore if we can again get oil from algae?
This is what we try to do at Oilgae.com - explore the potential of getting oil from algae
