Challenergy Typhoon Turbine Harnesses Storm Power
Sep-28-16
The typhoon turbine could harness enough power from a single storm to provide electricity to Japan for up to fifty years. Atsushi Shimizu created the typhoon turbine through his firm Challenergy to help bring the wind energy alternative to Japan, which has storms much too strong for the standard European-style versions. To make the turbine more robust, the team used an omnidirectional vertical axis that allows the device to withstand the island’s variable winds. The team also incorporated technology that takes advantage of the Magnus effect, which lets the engineers adjust the speed of the spinning blades by tightening the center rod—preventing the blades from spinning too fast in a storm.
The first prototype of the typhoon turbine has been installed, and the team is now waiting for a real typhoon to test its efficiency.

All designers turbines do not use the most important physical effect. Therefore turbine remain effective. This also applies to aircraft and other turbines.
