Heat Waver – A Solar Powered Wind Turbine
Usually, solar power and wind turbine stands apart. But unlike this one, called Heat WAVER and created by University of Liverpool (led by Dr. Joe King), it combines traditional turbines with photovoltaic technology. The idea is quite simple, they just design a wind turbine with rotor blades covered with solar panels.
But the team has faced problems. Preliminary computer simulations have found that turbines installed with solar panels will cause blinding beams of light shoot across the surrounding area. There are real fears that the turbines could potentially blind pilots and people who live nearby. Not only that, but on a very hot day, turbines will produce solar rays that can make the buildings on fire if it is concentrated.
Their solution is to design colored solar panels that do not reflect the sun’s beam.
