That was my initial thought also.
I think gen IV reactors may produce more energy :-).
Let's get REAL. Wind nor solar will replace fossil fuel.

That makes sense.

Not even remotely a turbine, as I see it.
Still, probably a more palatable description than the more apt:
"field of quivering electro-penises."

It's a bad description.
"Bladeless turbines" of the type pictured capture energy from the wind by
creating vortices that induce an oscillation in the structure. This oscillation
drives an alternator.
Though they are lighter and cheaper, they are less efficient at capturing wind
energy than tra

Interesting concept, but I admit to not understanding how we get from
"wind + magnets" to "drives a generator".

Upsides of Bladeless Wind Turbines
Bladeless turbines are *much quieter* than their blade-based counterparts.
They have no gearboxes or other moving parts that can create noise.
Additionally, bec
