A Spanish company built a bladeless wind turbine that sways instead of spinning, turning the vibrations caused by wind into electricity

A Spanish company has developed bladeless wind turbines that oscillate to generate electricity. These devices use vortex-induced vibrations, a phenomenon engineers usually avoid. The bladeless design offers a lighter, quieter, and mechanically simpler alternative to traditional turbines. While currently less powerful, they are suited for small-scale and remote energy needs.…
