===EWICON===
An electrostatic [[vaneless ion wind generator]], the EWICON, has been developed by The School of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science at [[Delft University of Technology]] (TU Delft). Its stands near Mecanoo, an architecture firm. The main developers were Johan Smit and Dhiradj Djairam. Other than the wind, it has no moving parts. It is powered by the wind carrying away charged particles from its collector.<ref name=LAG41313>{{cite web|author1=landartgenerator|title=EWICON (Electrostatic Wind Energy Converter)|url=http://landartgenerator.org/blagi/archives/2872|website=landartgenerator.org|access-date=February 26, 2015|date=April 13, 2013}}</ref> The design suffers from poor efficiency.<ref>[https://www.citylab.com/life/2013/04/how-long-must-we-wait-bladeless-windmill/5183/ How Long Must We Wait for the Bladeless Windmill?]</ref>

===Dutch Windwheel===
The technology developed for EWICON has been reused in the Dutch Windwheel.<ref>[http://www.wattisduurzaam.nl/3349/energie-opwekken/wind/elektrostatische-windmolen-zonder-molen/ Dutch Windwheel 2.0: Herontwerp zonder windenergie?]</ref><ref>[https://dutchwindwheel.com/en/index Dutch Windwheel]</ref>
