FloDesign high efficiency Wind Turbine

Alternative sources of energy is one of the hottest topic theses days. Wind energy is not being utilized to its full potential due to the lack of technology available in the field. The design of the wind turbine has been almost the same since historic times.
But a company by the name FloDesign based in Wilbraham, MA, USA. has come with a highly efficient wind turbine design. Traditional wind turbines are huge and require a lot of space and infrastructure for installation and transport. They have to be installed in remote areas away from people cause of safety concerns. They require huge and heavy gearboxes which require maintenance, Plus they are fragile and cannot bare high speed winds.They can only extract 50% of winds potential energy.

Witricity : Wireless electricity

Wires have been used to transport electricity from a long time but, they are messy they get entangled where you don't want them to and come in your way and may even give you an electric shock in some cases. In a sense they are good to transport electricity over long distances but cause a problem when they are used over short distances, in homes and offices.The solution is here "Witricity"

What is Witricity Technology??
If you are thinking its done with electromagnetic radiation then you are wrong. Instead it uses magnetic radiation which makes it safe with no bad effects on the human body. We are surrounded by earths magnetic radiation.Witricity uses the same concept used in a regular transformer,i.e. magnetic induction. The only difference is these guys have done it over a considerable long distance with the help of something called  resonant magnetic couple. Resonant magnetic couple is like transferring energy in the form of waves, the energy is transferred as magnetic energy and converted into electrical energy where it is used in devices. It can pass through any kind of obstructions.
