VIBRO WIND

Vibro-Wind makes it possible to harness wind energy without the use of a turbine.

No Turbine?

Vibro-Wind models harness energy through the oscillation of foam pads.

As the foam pads wobble,

their vibrations are transferred

to piezoelectric transducers,

producing energy.

(Alternately, some scientists

are working with

electromagnetic coils.)

How Does it Work?

Vibro-Wind, in many ways, is better than turbine-based wind

power. The advantages to using Vibro-Wind include:

• No land displacement (due to its ability to be mounted on the side of buildings, likely in urban areas)

• It’s cost efficiency • Less noise• Less danger to animals (such as birds and bats)• Smaller size (less material investment cost)
