Here we are with the sixth article of the New Energy Close-up Engineering Column, #StartUp4Energy. German startup developed an innovative vertical wind turbine; they called it BINOPTERUS. The real innovation, in this case, is about the energy generation at low wind speeds. Wind turbines at high wind speed produce nothing for safety, at low wind speed, usually, produce a smaller amount of energy, but not in this case. Binopterus can perfectly work also at low speed because of its Wind Optimizer and its Wind Collector.
On the startup’s website are listed all the advantages of this technology:
For regions with particularly low wind, the Binopterus can be equipped with the Wind Collector, which usually is aligned in the main wind direction. The funnel-shaped device collects additional wind streaming past and permits charge currents even at 3 m/s. Binopterus combines two wind turbine shapes in one: the resistance rotor and the lift rotor. The vertical shape makes the wind turbine independent of the wind direction. There are different context in which it the wind turbine can be used: feeding power into the building grid or company grid, power for use as island solution in autonomous areas, installation on the carport or garage for charging an electric car, as additional power supply on boats.
Binopterus has a specific Wind Optimizer in order
The energy potential of Binopterus depends, of course, on the wind-speed. It produces energy from 2 m/s to 8 m/s, and it can achieve almost 20,000 kWh energy generation in 20 years as a maximum. You can read more about the technology in their website and in their Kickstarter page.
