Eco Factor: Affordable wind turbines for commercial and residential uses.
WindTamer Corporation has developed what the company claims to be a new paradigm of wind power – more power from a small but efficient wind turbine. The company’s latest turbine comes enclosed in a “Wind Flower” housing that makes it harness wind speeds up to 70mph without dominating the view or its surroundings.
The system can be mounted on a 30ft pole, and being noise and vibration-free, the turbine can easily be mounted on a flat roof. The system doesn’t have a gearbox, which eliminates the risk of an overheating gearbox causing a fire.
The turbine is mounted on the same shaft as the blades are, which makes the incoming breeze cool the turbine automatically. The highly efficient system can work in wind speeds as low as 2mph to generate power. The turbine is available in different variants which generate power ranging from 1.5KW to 30KW.
