'Twisted' Energy? - "How do you create or manufacture a tornado and and how in the world would you harness and exploit the tremendous energy?" (FOXNews; June 26, 2008)

How it Works

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.
