Spanish company Vortex Bladeless is developing a new way to generate wind energy without blades or a spinning rotor. Its cylindrical mast oscillates in the wind, and an electromagnetic generator converts this motion into electricity. With low maintenance and no rotating blades, the technology could be useful in urban and protected areas while reducing impacts on wildlife.
