Multiple applications for WindCycle
WindCycle is primarily intended for use in Cities, but there are many interesting areas in the Cities that deserves particular applications.
- Electricity Poles on the roads/highway/trains rail: passing by vehicles generate local wind speeds that can be converted using VAWT and the energy send back into the electricity grid available in the poles.
- Subway tunnels: Tunnels on the Subway lines in Hong Kong (MTR) could potentially be targets for these kind of VAWT as there are 3 sources of increased air speed in the tunnels: A. Natural Bernoulli effect, air speed accelerates when the surface area decreases (tunnel). B. Available ventilation systems in the tunnels. C. Passing by trains inside the tunnels would certainly generate wind speed.
- Road tunnels: “Under sea” and “across mountains” road tunnels.
- Buildings with particular aerodynamics.
- Front shore electricity poles to get wind from open areas.
WindCycle for niche markets
WindCycle has now identified markets where wind turbines of these characteristics can meet a clear market demand and sees a possibility to build a business aimed at these niche markets. That can mean revenues for the company sooner than was originally planned.
Today around 50% of the electricity consumed by the City is generated in coal plants and the other 25% in gas Plants that also emits CO2, the rest in produced by Nuclear Energy Plants which is both expensive and have security concerns like the failures occurred in Chernobyl and Fukushima Daichi resulting in massive environmental damage not only for the cities around but with consequences for the whole planet.
“It's clear that wind energy's time has come. My message is a very simple one: our government is committed to addressing climate change, and we know that wind power will play a critical role in those efforts.”
Our technology using VAWT for urban environment solves these problems to the extent to which it is relevant.
