Vertical wind turbine will charge the laptop in the park: the concept Savannius

Lasts until the era of domination of the lithium-ion batteries in laptop computers, portable computers are unlikely to give us more than a few hours. And it would be nice to sit with a laptop in the park on a bench, and not worry about charging the batteries! It is not excluded that such a possibility we will give a vertical wind turbine Savannius , designed for installation in city parks and will work with any wind direction.

There are many unusual devices that allow you to convert wind energy into electrical energy: a windmill to charge batteries , wind towers and beacons, and other household generators of green energy . Some of them even offer to charge your phone in nature to create the wind itself by clicking on a treadle. And this is understandable: after all, unpredictable wind always blows in different directions.

But the problem is solvable. Japanese-American designer Hirotaka Matsui proposes to use in the parks vertical wind turbines - turbines that get energy from any air movement in any direction. Vertical wind turbines for lighting wind turbines have already been proposed innovators – in particular, the designer Arttu-Matti Immonen proposed spherical turbine. Still, construction of blades in a windmill Savannius , according to the author, one of the most effective to date.

Porous plastic pedestal, from which protrudes a vertical wind turbine - is not just the foot, but also a shop , which saves approximately constant temperature in different weather conditions. Thus, park visitors will be able to sit down at her, stuck plug your laptop into a power outlet and enjoy flowing through his veins flows the computer a “green” energy.

Park alternative energy - it is fashionable in Europe, direction, and it is possible that the vertical wind turbines Savannius next year to appear on city streets. Anyway, a prototype installation has been created and tested, the author calculates the economic and ecological effect. The main thing is to not forget to lubricate the turbine – but otherwise it will be like in a fantasy story, where the future city is suffering from unbearable noise ubiquitous windmills.
