Glasgow team reveals how bladeless wind turbines could power the future

Scientists develop game-changing method to generate energy from gentle breeze: 'What excites us most is the simplicity'

Researchers from India are demonstrating that harnessing wind power only requires a flutter.  It's a stark contrast to the "world's largest" turbine accomplishments in China and elsewhere.  "Yet, there is a quieter, more compact option: a slender strip of material fluttering in the breeze, capable of converting ambient airflow into usable electrical energy," the experts from the Indian Institutes of Technology wrote in a summary published by Tec…

Glasgow team reveals how bladeless wind turbines could power the future

They could one day replace the whirring generation of energy from wind with power created through good vibrations.

New research could unlock the potential of bladeless wind turbines

13.06.2025 - Insights from a new study could help unlock the full potential of a developing form of smaller-scale wind power generation, researchers say. Engineers from the University of Glasgow have used sophisticated computer simulations of bladeless wind turbines (BWTs) to identify for the first time how future generations of the technology could be built for maximum efficiency.
