1,200 MWh and no sunlight — Seaflute’s futuristic design turns off photovoltaics in the world

A new project called the Seaflute is set to completely revolutionize the renewable energy sector. For decades, the wind turbine has been an eye and ear sore for the world’s population, but it was seen as a necessary evolution of the renewable energy sector. Rarely do we find instances where science and art come together to perform a crucial function for the everyday person. But that is exactly what had happened with the Seaflute. The world is furiously searching for any new approaches to the renewable energy sector that can increase reliability and make the advancements in science a practical reality.

The Seaflute has reinvented the wheel with its new design and approach

As we’ve previously stated, it is exceedingly rare for a project to combine the latest scientific advancements with the human race’s artistic side, but this project is proof that when it is done, the results can be a masterpiece. Both the scientific approach to renewable energy and the world’s artists will be proud of what the Seaflute is capable of and how it combines two of mankind’s most basic needs, energy and art.

The problem with wind turbines is that they are massive to build and often an eyesore for the local residents. That’s before we even get to the noise pollution that having a wind turbine or several of them poses. Add to that the loss of energy through heat and friction, and one can see why the world has been slow to embrace the wind turbine.

The Seaflute could become the global leader in renewable energy

The project is the brainchild of Aziz Khalili and his sons, Iman and Pouya. The aim is to combine advanced engineering with aesthetic appeal, and the result is unlike anything we have ever seen. We first got a glimpse of the project when it was submitted to the Land Art Generator design competition in Melbourne, much to the adoring public’s excitement.

What sets the Seaflute apart is its revolutionary design, which is reminiscent of a champagne flute and uses the Bernoulli effect, a physical principle that provides lift for airplanes. The wind enters the “flute,” and a low-pressure zone at the rear of the module draws in more air towards an electrostatic ion generator. That generator creates an electric field that is more like an “electron cloud”.

The Seaflute also has the added artistic benefit of looking visually appealing, and when in operation, it produces a pan flute-type sound that can be manipulated to produce music. A truly masterful approach to renewable energy that Ionics Research + BETTER claims will be able to produce up to 1,200 MWh per year — enough to power 120 households.

“Through science and innovation, we can make our way back to an abundant and healthy planet, while also answering the ever-growing needs of the human population on energy. For this to become a reality, we need to carefully reconsider how and what we perceive our natural resources to be. Once, the humans looked at the air as a way to create music. What resulted were lasting songs for centuries, all due to a shift in perspective. That same ingenuity and creativity can once again be utilized to see beyond the capabilities of our elements; to create energy that is unlimited, clean and accessible out of thin air. Indeed, there is magic in the air.” – Seaflute creators

When art and science come together, the results are fantastic and revolutionary

The Seaflute represents the global cooperative efforts to find a new and more environmentally friendly renewable fuel source for the world’s needs. Our reliance on fossil fuels needs to come to an end. The fossil fuel market needs to become a nostalgic view into how we used to do things, as opposed to the accepted norm for the world’s vast energy needs. Like the name suggests, the Seaflute will lure the world’s energy producers to its sweet sounds and alluring design features.
