La Grumman Aérospace Corporation étudie une installation d'un type particulier réunissant une éolienne classique avec un générateur à vortex. Le générateur à vortex permet d'augmenter la dépression à l'aval de l'éolienne et, par voie de conséquence, la vitesse du vent à la traversée de celle-ci et donc la puissance produite. 2, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20de%20vortex
