Floating wind energy offshore system Bolowind is a floating offshore system to produce wind energy. (Depths from 50 meters). A drag type system gets less performance that the helix. It is not disputed. But the structure of bolowind offers many other advantages that make it very interesting and where the helix does not succeed. It has been very difficult to summarize in 7 minutes all possibilities for the full version. A conceptual study is available (original Spanish and English translation …

Carsten Westergaard [Global Technology Director, Vestas] Abstract: Wind energy is a fascinating collection of multi-disciplinary engineering. Harvesting the wind efficiently, we have to understand the metrological conditions, the climate, and the turbulence induced by the landscape in order predict the lifetime performance parameters. We can design the turbines using all of our knowledge from civil, mechanical and electrical engineering to deliver a cost-efficient energy that can compete …

WIND ENERGY NSM 21 (PROTOTYPE 2)
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
This project is based on regular wind energy turbines in combination with the magnus effect. The real trial prototypes are still in construction. No external energy is given to this turbine. A worldwide patent application is now in progress. Everyone who is related in this field is invited to share your thoughts and ideas with us. For more informations click www.mehmetoglu.com
