Wind power is the transformation of wind energy into a usable and universally-accepted form of energy, such as electricity. Wind turbines are used to make electricity, while wind mills are used for mechanical power or sails to propel ships.
A new type of wind energy generator will be developed by Zena Systems, a Japanese company. The project is the first of this type and includes a 50-meter tall hexagonal building that compresses wind and sends the air all over the place though several ground-based generators.
Beside the building there is also a visitors center, a desalination plant and an on-site energy storage. Kurume Fukuoka, Japan is the city where the project is going to be located.
According to the company’s statements, the tall building will have a wind tunnel in the middle . The air will be converted to electricity as soon as it gets down to a series of turbines. The Betz limit value theory says that the maximum harvestable energy from the wind is 59.3% but the company claims that the system is not constrained by it.
“The E.A.S. is a new energy storage system used to stock the energy generated by the Wind Tower system. This system uses vanadium concentrated solution diluted with nano water and pure water.”

Invenergy Wind Ready to Build Michigan's Largest Wind FarmBeing considered Michigan’s largest, the $440 million project will produce 200 megawatts of energy by the end of next year, enough to supply electricity for more than 54,000 homes.
New Wind Turbine Generator Gets 57% More PowerWind power is one of the cheapest forms of energy available to us, because it mainly depends on wind’s speed, and it works 24/7, with no dependence on the moment of the day. A new company called ExRo Technology, based in Vancouver, BC, wants to commercially develop a new type of generator to be used in wind turbines all over the world. The interesting fact is that this new generator can increase the electricity output by 50%.
