Abstract
Wind energy is a widely used and renewable source for electricity generation. However, traditional wind turbines face challenges such as large footprints, noise, high costs, and efficiency limitations. To address these issues, bladeless wind turbines (BWTs) have gained popularity, and extensive research is being carried out to develop efficient designs. In this work, we propose a novel BWT design, inspired by the spine structure found in human bodies. The BWT architecture is modular, autonomous, and robust, making it suitable for small, portable, and small-scale applications. Our BWT design was inspired by the spine structure found in the human body and other vertebrates. The BSWT architecture is modular, autonomous, and robust. Detailed 3D models were created using Fusion 360 and SolidWorks software to refine and iterate the design. Our BWT features a complete electrical system with an energy harvesting base, a rectifier, converter, and a storage battery. The stored energy is then converted to AC and connected to the load. Our design utilizes oscillating rods divided into sections, enabling energy generation even at low wind speeds. The casing protects the rods from shear stresses and corrosion. While practical applicates involve a spine design with multiple sections, our experiments primarily focus on a single turbine.
