The energy captured by the rotor of a wind machine is transformed into mechanical energy initially available in rotary motion.
This movement can be used to drive devices that transform into other forms of energy: mechanical, electrical, thermal or potential. The most effective applications are those in which one reaches the end-use energy with the least [...]

With the conventional concept of wind generators, high maintenance cost, prevent this technology is cost.
A new way must be found, with Bluenergy system, the generator is not very high, making it difficult to access, but at the foot of the turbine. No need for a crane to carry out necessary repairs or maintenance.
It’s [...]

Argentina can supplement its energy with the winds of Patagonia, the intense sun of the northern provinces, geothermal energy from the mountains, and the hydroelectric power of its streams and waterfalls. But make no mistake. In the short term, may be asked to renewable energy to provide all missing megawatts out of the energy crisis.
The [...]
