New Wind Turbine Design Good for Rural, Urban Environment
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.
@Allante715 No question right now coal is pretty darn efficient but that’s not the point. Burning coal is bad for us and the rest of life on the planet. burning coal wouldn’t be such an issue if the world’s human population was back at the level is was only 100 years ago. Just to many people on this earth and it’s gonna get a lot worse!
I can definitely see wind power supplementing the grid but I don`t see how it can replace it.
1 Ordinary Wind Turbine – 1.5MW
1 Ordinary Coal Plant – 1300MW
1 Ordinary Nuclear Plant – 1200MW
How many wind turbines do you need to displace one coal plant?How much land does one wind turbine need? What is more reliable; 1 coal plant or 1000 wind turbines?You do the math.
I like their design and reported ease of installation. The video that shows it spinning very fast is misleading since, per their specs, even their “extreme” wind version shuts down at over 37mph. It would be nice if there was one that could keep outputting more at high wind speeds which would be a great source of bonus power.
could anyone please tell mw the whole dialogue or put this video with subtitles? Thank you!
The best place would be chicago.
A real good idea
Wind turbines is great as long as you live in a windy area. Other wise it will be money wasted.
I prefer the cilyndrical ones…..
much safer!
Good work designers!
BS BS BS …. really look into VAWTs this guy is BS

HAH
Is Bird Friendly because the birds can see it??
In part of the clip, you can see a regular horizontal axis turbine, a HAWT, turning at twice the RPM with same wind condition. That’s why the utility companies use horizontal axis turbines with propellor type blades, there is no resistance on backside. With that WindSpire, as one side catches wind, the other is resisted by same wind. That’s why so slow and low yielding.
I’m assuming this design of wind turbines use rising of heat convection along with the Darrieus wind turbine concept to generate electricity?
it’s pretty! I’m all for getting off the grid and doing our part for clean living and I don’t care about the global worming debate I just like doing this stuff anyways, can you believe it?
Did you see the news topday saying that the plant making these WindSpires was going out of business or closing down. I guess the big government subsidies were running out or something. Look at my install of rooftop wind turbines and solar panels at my house. If you Favorite my videos or Subscribe that would be great. Thanks
affordable is relative
build them in the ocean where they be more efficient quit building them in the Allegheney mountains
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.
probably less noisy than you; and definitely more useful… pea brain.
VAWT > HAWT all day baby! MEGLEV all the way.
Bird friendly lol
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 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.
awesome , i did a video on windfarm near me
