Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Design, inspired by the flow of a school of fishWind turbine designs have improved significantly in recent years, but wind farms are still pretty inefficient. That's because traditional wind turbines -- the ones with three huge blades -- interfere with each other. Putting two or more large turbines in close proximity produces wind blocks and vortices that decrease the efficiency of the overall wind farm....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/john-dabiri-uses-biomimicry-to-design-cheaper-and-more-efficient-wind-farms/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
