2. Vaneless ion wind generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaneless_ion_wind_generator

   Sustainable energy. A vaneless ion wind generator or power fence is a device that generates electrical energy by using the wind to move charged particles across an electric field . Ion wind generators are not commercially available, though working prototypes and proofs of concept have been created.

3. Vortex generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_generator

   A vortex generator ( VG) is an aerodynamic device, consisting of a small vane usually attached to a lifting surface (or airfoil, such as an aircraft wing) [1] or a rotor blade of a wind turbine. [2] VGs may also be attached to some part of an aerodynamic vehicle such as an aircraft fuselage or a car. When the airfoil or the body is in motion ...

5. Windbelt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windbelt

   Windbelt. The Windbelt is a wind power harvesting device invented by Shawn Frayne in 2004 for converting wind power to electricity. [ 1][ 2] It consists of a flexible polymer ribbon stretched between supports transverse to the wind direction, with magnets glued to it. When the wind blows across it, the ribbon vibrates due to vortex shedding ...

6. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   In electricity generation, a generator[ 1] is a device that converts motion-based power ( potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power ( chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines and even ...

7. Van de Graaff generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graaff_generator

   Van de Graaff generator. A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which uses a moving belt to accumulate electric charge on a hollow metal globe on the top of an insulated column, creating very high electric potentials. It produces very high voltage direct current (DC) electricity at low current levels.
