Typhoon-proof wind turbines that are uniquely shaped in order to withstand powerful winds and changes in wind direction.
A Japanese startup, Challenergy, has developed typhoon-proof wind turbines. These are uniquely shaped in order to withstand powerful winds and abrupt changes in wind direction. Built as a vertical axis wind turbine, turbines have three vertical cylinders instead of a propeller. The turbines are intended for use in remote areas, such as remote Philippine islands, that often lack sufficient power infrastructure while also being exposed to extreme weather events.
