Generate Hydrogen & Electricity, Charge Vehicles: Wind Turbines That Do It All!

Innovative Wind Turbines that produce electricity & Hydrogen; also charge vehicles

The convergence of climatetech and entrepreneurship has given the world some of the best energy solutions. In a recent development on this front, US-based Wingardium energy is building as well as distributing innovative wind turbines made by Kohilo Wind.

These wind turbines are an interesting invention that generate hydrogen and electricity at the same time. This has proven to be a viable solution to fluctuations in supply by providing constant energy without any interruptions. The Cyclone Vertical Axis Turbine is outfitted with its own hydraulic storage to make this possible. With the 3 MW cyclone, one can save 8 MW 7500 tons of CO2 every year. Additionally, it is almost noiseless and produces no turbulence.

The most intriguing feature is that while it performs all these functions, it can also serve as a charging station for vehicles. The turbine has been designed in a way that there is space under the station to double up as charging station. Hydrogen and electric vehicles can both be charged with this.

The said wind turbines are already operating in the Philippines, Israel, Brazil, the US. Additionally, an 8 MW turbine is to be set up this year in Netherland.

Typically, a large Wingardium turbine takes anywhere between 20-30 million Euros for installation and is created with recyclable material.

It is interesting to note the various innovations springing up in the world on wind energy.

In the past, helium-filled floating wind turbines have gained popularity. Because they are positioned high in the sky, they are also capable of transmitting WiFi and cell signals. They even serve as weather sensors! Innovators have also done the unimaginable by introducing wind turbines that do not even have blades. These promise bird safety, smaller carbon footprint and supposed to be more efficient all at the same time.
