Patent ID: 10982648

Abstract:
A bladeless wind turbine may include a flexible support rod mounted on a support surface, an elongated rigid mast mounted on the flexible support rod, and a natural tuning mechanism coaxially mounted around a first portion of the flexible support rod. A natural tuning mechanism may include a housing coaxially attached to the flexible support rod, at least one extendable tube slidably housed within the housing and coaxially mounted and fitted around the flexible support rod. At least one extendable tube may be slidably moveable along the main axis of the flexible support rod and may be extendable beyond the top end of the housing by a predetermined height. A bladeless wind turbine may further include a control unit that may be coupled to the natural tuning mechanism and may be configured to urge the at least one extendable tube to extend beyond the top end of the housing by a predetermined height, where the predetermined height may be calculated by the control unit based on the wind and the elongated rigid mast.
