Copió a los Peces para Crear una Turbina 600% MÁS POTENTE

What if I told you that one of the most promising ideas for generating more energy from the wind didn't come from an airplane or a propeller… but from observing how fish swim? In this episode of After the Paper, I talk with Priscila Portocarrero, a Peruvian mechanical engineer who researches the aerodynamics of wind turbines. We discuss her twin-rotor turbine design inspired by the swimming of fish—capable of multiplying power under certain conditions—and we also bring the topic down to earth: Peru's enormous wind potential and why we take such poor use of it. A conversation that ranges from the amazing world of the lab to the very realities of our own geography. 🌬️
