Tomyo

Wind-powered energy generator

Reiko Kitora

Large wind power generators are expensive for capital investment and maintenance, and some people say that the low-frequency noise generated by windmills is problematic. Tomyo requires no maintenance and generates no noise, and furthermore, costs for the same level of power output can be drastically reduced. In contrast with a windmill which uses blades that low-frequency noise, Tomyo is a power generation system utilizing vortex generated from vibration of a circular cone that catches wind. Increasing the size of this power generation system would enable us to top into natural energy on a large scale which will be need by the society in the future.
