Tamed-tornado, anchored-vortex concept said to offer a vast increase in electrical output using waste heat from existing power plants. Small prototypes are promising.

NEC Review

Not Safe

On Oct. 15, 2006, New Energy Congress member, Ken Rauen wrote:

I do not like this concept for two clear reasons.

One: I do not believe for a minute that the energy entrained in a synthetic tornado is truly anchored to the base station that creates it. It can take off with lots of potential energy that will take a while to dissipate, or can provide a mechanism for Nature to continue to pump it. Nature is pumping it anyway, as this is the whole point of using it!

Secondly, it is intrusive. Who really wants a stationary tornado within view? I also doubt it will be silent!

BAD, BAD IDEA. Not in my backyard! Not within 200 miles of my house!

    Man-made tornadoes could one day power our cities - Now, after years of struggling to be viewed as a serious company, AVEtec has just received $300,000 in funding from PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, to improve on the initial concept and build a working engine to prove the viability of using this technology to produce electricity with virtually no carbon foot print.

  • Taming the Tornado to Generate Electric Power - Louis Michaud's atmosphere vortex engine would harness waste heat from power plants and other heat sources, creating a stationary tornado and capturing the rotational force. (PESN; Nov. 27, 2007)
