Looks a clever idea. Wished I had thought of it.
Power for size is low compared with a prop but there are big advantages in removing rotating blades.
A small one might produce an annoying hum in higher windspeed.
I would like to see data on actual output versus windspeed.

I was wondering if any of the experts here have an informed opinion of this "Vortex Bladless" wind generator. It sounds a bit off the wall, but who am I to tell? Here is a link to their crowdfunding page:One interesting thing is that their initial version is a small one which might be of a size, weight and cost to try out on a boat:Vortex Atlantis:Height: 10 ft (3m)Weight: 22 lbs (10 kg)Power: 100wPrice (guesstimate): $250100w isn't much, but it is cheap, and could run 24hrs/day.Opinions?- Gardner
