Just IMHO, this sub contains too many press releases. Would love to see a real article/data on this but I’m guessing I never will.

Without understanding how it properly functions, this is probably going to be as efficient as an electric kitchen composter.

-How is the airflow from the passive non-moving structure being diverted into the central cylinder to drive the visible turbine at the bottom?
-How does the internal turbine/windmill design reduce sound from the blades operating at moderate or high speeds?
-The important bit, is that the claim it generates 50% more than -Solar-, which operates between 20-30% efficiency as is depending on type. So maybe a 30-40% output compared to 60-90% efficiency from standard wind turbines from energy harnessed, to energy output.

The volume it appears to occupy, you could just suffer having a windmill tower with a residential turbine that could output 1500-3000w.

It says it’s bladeless, however I see blades when I watch the video in the article..

This makes it sound like wind energy is somehow competing with solar energy, which is complete bullshit. They complement each other. Wind energy is stronger in the winter and solar during the rest of the year. That's how you can even make a fossil fuel free world possible.

A new bladeless wind energy unit, patented by Aeromine Technologies, is tackling the challenge of competing with rooftop solar as a local source of clean energy that can be integrated with the built environment. The scalable, “motionless” wind energy unit can produce 50% more energy than rooftop solar at the same cost, said the company.

The technology leverages aerodynamics similar to airfoils in a race car to capture and amplify each building’s airflow. The unit requires about 10% of the space required by solar panels and generates round-the-clock energy. Aeromine said unlike conventional wind turbines that are noisy, visually intrusive, and dangerous to migratory birds, the patented system is motionless and virtually silent.

Buildings and the built environment account for nearly 50% of all carbon emissions globally, according to Architecture 2030. Building operations contributes about 27% of emissions, while buildings materials and construction, and other construction industry energy use are estimated to account for another 20%. This represents an opportunity for buildings to be made more efficiently, and to adopt innovative technologies to generate emissions-free electricity.
BASF Corporation is currently testing the Aeromine system at a manufacturing plant in Wyandotte, Michigan. The patented technology was validated through joint research with Sandia National Laboratories and Texas Tech University.

I'm not seeing LCOE figures, which makes me think that the cost they're talking about is installation cost, not overall cost. Ongoing maintenance is probably where the downsides of this for homeowners comes in, because as it is this sounds too good to be true, and it probably is.

what the point of talking about the co2 emission of construction when solar or wind rooftop power generation won't change anything about that? the co2 emission of appartment or house is because of their construction itself and after that their energy consumption, gas powered heating or worse oil

even with an electricity grid completly free of gas or coal (nuclear, hydro, solar and wind) the only way to reduce co2 is to lower the amont of heating or the use of air conditioner

solar and wind rooftop is interesting for being energy-independant if it's cheaper to install and maintain than 5year worth of paying the energy bill, if you can afford the cost, no need to lie and brand it as ecologic, also it's worth to mention the material used to make every rooftop of every occidental country able to generate power isn't really "ecological" far better to build a few nuclear plan than waste an absurd amont of ressource, for ecology at least

The big problem with small wind turbines is that they don't have a big enough swept area which make them very inneficent. The solution to that is to have bigger blades which need bugger towers. If they have found a way to increase swept area without big blades then that could be a real game changer. It could just tip small turbines into viability. And you could see this concept popping up in lots of different places. And it could be complementary to other technologies like HVAC systems, louvres, ships etc. And maybe they could be placed on farmland during the winter.

And now that the queens dead who cares if all the queens protected birds get killed in wind fans
