Vortex, a startup from Spain, has developed the tall sticks known as Bladeless – white poles jutting out of the ground, that are built so that they can oscillate. They do so as a result of the way that the wind is whipped up around them, using a phenomenon that architects avoid happening to buildings and encouraging it so that the sticks shake. They do so using vortices, which is where the company gets its name from. The bladeless turbines use special magnets to ensure that the turbines are optimised to shake the most they can, whatever speed the wind is travelling at. As the sticks vibrate, that movement is converted into electricity by an alternator. holmgangs Wiggling Poles of the Wasteland Harvest Electricity For Power Hungry Humans jenniferrpovey These also look like they would cause fewer problems for birds and bats. fullcontactmuse This is really cool. winneganfake They leave off the important note that when the wind rises, each pole makes a sound like a hundred vuvuzelas roaring at once. In the post-apocalyptic world of the future, villagers will speak in hushed tones about the Roaring Plains, and caution adventurous travelers to stay well away. tentakrule I appreciate how they essentially invented very useful yet alien-looking screaming pillars.

homunculus-argument My theory is that ghosts get their energy by sucking the oil out of door hinges. That's how you know a place is haunted. Because the doors creak, even if you've just oiled them. The ghosts suck the oil out.
