Quieter, safer, and more effective alternative.
The new turbine design features a cone-shaped structure along a column that moves with air currents, generating electricity without the need for blades. The system will also include a linear generator.
Extra advantages: The bladeless design is greener and offers a solution to the problem of conventional wind turbines intercepting migratory bird paths, a concern in Egypt due to its location along the path of birds migrating from Eastern and Central Europe.
