Wind speed is never static. It goes unusable at times when it blows below 9 mph or splinters beyond 29 mph as in most parts of North America. Hoping to provide a sensible solution to the problem, Windtronics introduces Honeywell Wind Turbine that carries a unique Power Blade System that creates energy from magnets at the blade tips. The technology reduces the resistance of a central gear and shaft to gain maximum cost- and energy-efficiency.
The rooftop wind turbine, designed for homes and businesses can work in wind speeds as low as 2 miles per hour. It resembles a six-foot-diameter bicycle wheel. Containing a computerized Smart Box that repositions the turbine for safe wind capture, the Honeywell can withstand high winds (above 40 mph) easily. The 170 pounds wind turbine will retail at $6,495 at local ACE Hardware stores starting in August; you need to pay more for installation though. However, the federal and state energy tax rebates will cover 30% to 80% of the cost.
