Tornadoes contain a lot of energy. Science is inspired by this atmospheric vortex and is developing devices that use artificial tornadoes to generate electricity.
An engine unit that uses controlled tornados to generate electricity has received sufficient financial support and will produce prototypes.
The Atmospheric Eddy Engine (AVE) is a masterpiece by Canadian engineer Louis Michaud. The purpose is to use waste heat to produce cheap and clean energy.
Louis Michaud said: "There is no controversy about the enormous energy in a tornado. Our work establishes the principle of controlling and developing its energy, and it can provide clean energy on an unprecedented scale. Together with Canada's Lambton College, we are building a Prototype machine to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of an atmospheric vortex engine."
Atmospheric vortex engines are driven by vortices generated by solar radiation or updrafts produced by industrial waste heat. The idea is to create an upward-directed ascent vortex at the top of the troposphere (atmosphere does not continue to drop in temperature when it reaches the top of the troposphere), using the air in the tornado moving along the pressure gradient to drive the turbine to generate electricity.
It is reported that the cost of power generation using this engine is: 3 cents per kilowatt-hour, which is much lower than the cost of conventional coal-fired power generation. (double helix)
