Wind is probably the most untapped of all natural renewable sources of energy that is widely available on the planet. Rather than the lack of its ability to generate power, it is our lack of creativity in converting all that wind into useful energy. Designers are realizing this fact off late and are turning towards new designs that break away from tradition and tap into even the ‘not so strong’ winds. Power Flower is one of those new innovative wind turbines which give an output even at low wind speeds.
While the conventional giant wind turbines start churning out energy at 7mph, Power Flower starts off at 2 mph wind speed and hence can be used with ease even in places where there is constant breeze. Apart from the output options, it is also ergonomic and easy to install in domestic areas, where noisy large wind turbines would be considered a bit of a nuisance by others.
Just buy several of these Power Flower units with an output of 400W each which are available in a variety of designs and sizes, each individually cut from a single sheet of various metals. This should do well enough to satisfy most of your power needs. Installation is very simple, it requires no giant machines and you can do it by hand also. This makes Power Flower units a lot more economically viable than other such turbines.
With Bernoulli bumps at the back of the blades to up the performance, larger surface area, lighter weight and a design that taps into low wind speeds as well as the high ones with ease, Power Flower looks like a wonderful edition to the array of wind turbines that designers have lined up for us in an attempt to encourage the use of sustainable and clean energy.
