  Vibrational Wind Turbine Design

  By Carlos Armenta-Déu, Ignacio Madrazo, Jorge Contreras, Matilde Santos

  Abstract: This work focuses on the study and analysis of bladeless wind turbines (BWT) as an alternative to operating vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT) and horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT). A mathematical analysis of the BWT oscillation under wind force allows the development of specific mathematical expressions for the oscillation speed and BWT mast displacement at any height. The oscillation movement is submitted to a Strouhal constant number condition, resulting in an algorithm …
