INVELOX OPTIMIZATION
Invelox Tower CFD Test - Flow From Different Directions
Instructor : Professor Yiannis Andreopoulos
Student : M.E. Mehmet Bariskan
HOW IT WORKS ?
 Capture, accelerate, concentrate. The name INVELOX comes from this
dedication to INcreasing the VELOcity of wind. What the technology
produces-energy is affordable, abundant, safe, and clean.
 INVELOX, by contrast, funnels wind energy to ground base generators. Wind
is captured with a funnel and directed through a tapering passageway that
naturally accelerates its flow. This stream of kinetic energy then drives a
generator that is installed safely and economically at ground level.
 Bringing the airflow from top of the tower to ground level allows for greater
power generation with much smaller turbine blades. It also allows for
networking, allowing multiple towers to direct energy to the same generator.
