The makers of Birmingham Blade say their new wind turbine design can generate 7 times the amount of energy as typical blades in urban settings.
A new artificial intelligence system has designed a wind turbine for the first time in history, according to its developer. The British company EvoPhase claims that its AI has thrown all the established conventions for engineering such devices out the window and that, based on their tests, its invention is seven times more efficient than existing designs. The Birmingham Blade—as the company calls it—consists of six arms parallel to the ground connected to a central vertical axis. Each arm has a vertical blade, a surface with two waves that change their angle of attack across its height and length.
