Honeycomb-shaped bladeless generators for urban wind harvesting
Greentech innovator Katrick Technologies has concluded the first stage of the Alpha testing phase of its novel wind power generation technology. Developed in partnership with The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) and tested at the University of Strathclyde, the prototype of the company’s Wind Panel has yielded impressive results during this latest testing phase, demonstrating the technology’s potential as a disruptive innovation in the greentech sphere.
Katrick Technologies’ Wind Panel is a market-first wind power generation technology that addresses the limitations of conventional wind turbines by capturing a far wider range of wind speeds and frequencies at lower levels through its unique design. The panel features channelling ducts containing aerofoils that oscillate independently when exposed to the kinetic energy of wind and these mechanical oscillations are then converted to energy.
