The latest "wind stalk" generator is like a towering wheat field swaying in the wind

The latest "wind stalk" generator is like a towering wheat field swaying in the wind

Atelier DNA Design Inc. of New York, USA, recently proposed a "wind stalk."

According to foreign media reports, traditional wind turbine blades have a lot of noise, and sometimes bats and birds accidentally hit and cause death. There are even some wind turbines installed only breeze, and wind power cannot be realized. Currently, Atelier DNA Design Inc. of New York, USA, has recently proposed a "wind stalk" that will generate electricity when the wind blows these "stems" into wavy bends.

The designer plans to apply this wind design to Masdar City, a 2.3-square-mile, car-free area built on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the Arab Emirates. It is reported that Atelier DNA Design's "wind stalk" won the second place in the earth art generator design competition. This design competition aims to follow the international terms and conditions for Masdar City to design the best power generation method to generate renewable energy.

This latest design requires 1203 “wind stalks”, each stem 60 meters high, with a diameter of 11-22 meters of concrete base, the top diameter of the wind stalk is only 5 cm. It is made of carbon fiber material and reinforced with resin. The diameter of the bottom of the stem-shaped carbon fiber is about 0.33 meters. Each stalk contains alternating layers of electrodes and ceramic disks made of piezoelectric material that generate current when stressed. For wind stalks, when the wind stalk is compressed by the swaying wind current, an electric current is formed.

According to Darío Núñez-Ameni, a partner at Atelier DNA, the design concept is to try to discover the power modes that generate energy in nature.

According to Masdar City's proposal, wind stalk farms will span 280,000 square feet. Based on a rough assessment, Armeni said that wind stalk farms have the same electricity output as traditional wind power systems covering the same area. Our wind power system is very effective and there is no friction loss similar to that of traditional wind vortex machine systems.

Each wind stalk setting will be somewhat different, it will be slightly tilted to allow rainwater to enter between the two coagulation bases, helping the growth of wild plants. Such a wind stalk device can be installed in a park green space and can be used as a technical application. Each wind stalk contains a torque generator that uses a bumper to convert the kinetic energy obtained into energy.

Wind power is not constant, so Ameni stated that the two larger compartments under the wind stalk can store energy like batteries. This technology is based on existing hydropower pumped storage systems. Water in the top compartment will flow through the turbine to the lower compartment, releasing the stored energy until the wind starts again.

There is an LED lamp on the top of each wind stalk. It shines when the wind blows, and it becomes brighter when it is in a strong wind. Atelier DNA expects the wind stalk to perform more naturally and vibrate in the air.

Armeni said: “The wind stalk is completely silent, and the simulated image shows it resembles a field of wheat or a reed in a swamp. We hope that people’s place of life will be closer to the wind stalk power plant, and it will make people walk The field, especially at night, is accompanied by wind and stalks to enjoy the beauty of their own starry sky.” (Long/Compilation)
