Hummingbird-Inspired Wind Turbines

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Tyer Wind Turbines Curb Noise Pollution During Operation

— January 25, 2017 — Eco
The Tyer Wind turbines are designed after the likeness of the hummingbird in order to be a more functional, efficient way to harness the power of the wind. Crafted from carbon fiber, the turbines are purported to have a very low operational noise in comparison to existing wind turbines out there. This will come as welcome news to those who find the noise pollution created by the eco energy generators to be somewhat bothersome.

The Tyer Wind turbines are far less obtrusive in the visual landscape than traditional turbines and are safe for migrating birds. They can be implemented into a wind farm on a greater scale in order to capture more wind current power with less turbines required in the process.
Trend Themes
1. Hummingbird-inspired Wind Turbines - Bio-inspired design principles offer disruptive innovation opportunities for the wind energy sector.
2. Reduced Operational Noise Turbines - Developing new wind turbines with low noise emissions presents opportunities for eco-friendly energy companies.
3. Increased Wind Farm Efficiency - Innovations in wind turbine design can improve the overall efficiency of wind power generation, providing an opportunity for growth in the renewable energy industry.
Industry Implications
1. Wind Energy - The Tyer Wind turbines provide potential solutions for issues with noise pollution and visual landscape for wind energy companies looking to scale up their operations.
2. Carbon Fiber Manufacturing - Carbon fiber producers can seek to expand their market reach by developing materials for the Tyer Wind turbines inspired by bio-mimicry principles.
3. Renewable Energy - Developing cutting-edge, eco-friendly wind turbines can drive the growth of the renewable energy industry and offer cleaner energy alternatives.
