A technological leap forward and a revolution in wind energy. A more efficient, cost-effective and enviromental friendly way to produce energy.

Thoughts?
They say that they're going to generate power with oscillating masts connected to generators. I can't really see how this is going to be "efficient," and I'm doubly suspicious since it's crowdfunded, which isn't a great testament to its integrity.

Vortex shedding is a well established technique for flow measurement. Its interesting to see an attempt to apply it to power generation.

Yeah, if you can install it in a clean wind area like over a convenient river. Maybe make it a bike path too for the tree huggers.

Was discussed here during crowdfunding campaign. Interesting update from them:

Now we are just ending the research stage to jump to the industrialization of the first models, that only will be a technology demonstrator producing around 3W (1m height). At the same time we will be developing the 100W and 4kW scaling from the demonstrator. This small-small device we want to launch it through Crowdfunding, to share with anyone the technology and to use the community as a testing, and have a feed back from anyone about how it works. We’ll let you know when the date is arriving.

3W !!! LOL from a freaking 1m flipping dildo, you can barely charge the phone at lowest possible current from this - 5V @ 500mA = 2.5W.

I like how they show the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse to demonstrate the power of resonance and oscillations, with vortex amplification... known as "aeroelastic flutter". It is definitely powerful stuff if you can harness it. But the wind has to be fairly fast I think, or you need to use gigantically long spans to harness enough energy. Here are some  interesting videos:

I find the embryo from the project Vortex Bladeless.



And here, he said that  the electricity generation is produced by effect piezo electric .

But at the first video , his patner that the generation is produced by the effect electro-magnetic as Induction generators and alternators

 I saw the web site for searching the specification technics and i didn't find nothing , but i found some things  on their blogs .
