New Wind Turbine Design Good for Rural, Urban Environment
By
Wind power is one of the fastest growing forms of alternative energy in the world. More and more, wind power mills are seen in the countryside, in large wind farms and for the most part, away from city life. But a new form of wind power is now designed to work in an urban environment. VOA producer Zulima Palacio has the story. Mill Arcega narrates.

Wind power is the …
Wind power is the alternate source of clean energy. There are many companies who are working towards the production of clean and more affordable energy. Transformer company, Pacific Crest Transformers has articles and whitepapers on wind energy. They also provide custom-built energy efficient transformers for wind farms.

i have been to the largest wind farms in oklahoma, they are not noisey, the wind blowing across your year is enough o drowned them out. funny thing though i saw no dead birds on the ground. peace

can i know do u hv a web so as i may know more.
may be one day i might be reseller of your products in asia. pls let me know further infor.
tks

As the opening …
As the opening video shows, the large wind farms don’t use a vertical design because of the poor yield they usually get? How many watts can you get in a 6mph wind? 6 mph is the cut in speed of the most efficient home wind turbines.

this one is no exception!!

If proper studies …
If proper studies were done ahead of time, bird death should be non-existent. They have built a wind farm along a bird migration route here in Sweden. There are 12 turbines that 1.5 million birds pass through each year. They found one bird death between 1999-2003. And they monitor it by sight and by radar at night.

Interesting.
Does anyone know what wind speed is required for 1.2Kwh? Completed (installed) cost? How would this unit compare to the Whisper?

It got to be as effective as it claim in generating power. It does looks promising.

it seems to be a very effective piece of technology. It is cost effective and will ultimately, decrease our dependency on fuel. Let’s do it!

I think a …
I think a investigation of wind turbines like this on a larger scale needs to happen, I have seen the one at the botanical garden in high winds its a little noisy and wobbly, But it does not give shadows like traditional wind turbines, so on a larger scale something of this nature could be a really good solution, and if its at the botanic garden it’s got the attention of the US government.

This is the way it SHOULD be done, vs. desecrating and industrializing so many scenic landscapes.

Love to have a vertical wind turbine. Check out OIL SPILL ELIMINATOR on You Tube

Power can be stored …
Power can be stored as hot water or by charging batteries. I didn’t use the link to see the website, but it’s normal logic thinking based on ordinary media information

New type fridges …
New type fridges and washers use a fraction of the old style. The challenge is energy storage unless you have a contract with your power company to sell when you have too much and get some of theirs when not. And, wind is available at night as well unless your wind systems are solely anabatic/catabatic. A 3 kw wind turbine combined with some solar voltaic and maybe some geo-thermal will make you totally independent of your current energy providers.

wind fan+ small generator=electricity
if you live in the windy area, it will produce the electricity 24 hours none stop , you pay no electricity bill and you can also sell the the extra electricity to electric company, it depend on how many wind turbine you have it. just like money maker machine in your back yard.
