FollowAre you looking for an environment friendly power source which is cordial, visual, and beautiful too? The answer is wind turbine! A wind turbine is a mechanism that transfers kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy. It drifts in the air; some spin vertically and other horizontally, some of them are lighter-than air though others are regally incorporated into high buildings. These wind turbines are the best alternative to produce electricity without harming the environment.
So, you can easily understand the importance of these wind turbines. The wind turbines are made with different designs. Some of them are very innovative and spectacular.
Here are some of the most innovative wind turbine designs:
1. Whale power
Whale powerThis turbine is named after its manufacturing company Whale power
This turbine is named after its manufacturing company Whale power. This turbine has usually downy blades on a turbine adding a sequence of edges and the bump on humpback whale fins. Its innovative blade design can increase yearly electrical production for existing wind farms by 20 percent. It is a very innovative and unique design of wind turbine which can help in increasing the production of electricity.
2. Quiet revolution qr5
Quiet revolution qr5This wind turbine is designed for a metropolitan environment with low wind pace and altering wind directions
This wind turbine is designed for a metropolitan environment with low wind pace and altering wind directions. Most of the conventional wind turbines incarcerate horizontal winds and rotate by following the changes in wind direction. But this new quiet revolution qr5 wind turbine design allows the turbine to assemble wind from all directions evenly.
The first qr5 turbine was established in a suburb of London named Dagenham, in March 2007. At the end of the year 2008 above 70 turbines had been mounted all over the United Kingdom.
3. Windspire
WindspireExactly similar to the Quiet Revolution, a vertical wind turbine
It is exactly similar to the Quiet Revolution, a vertical wind turbine. As it is tall by 30-foot and wide by 4-foot therefore it produces 2000 kilowatts per hour specified 12 mph winds, and it can endure winds up to 105 mph. It has a tall, slim propeller less rotor and with the help of its vertical airfoils it creates more power. These wind turbines have been settled up across the county in museums, homes, schools, and businesses.
4. Magenn air rotor system (MARS)
Magenn air rotor system (MARS)Magenn Air Rotor System is a wind power solution with diverse advantages
Magenn Air Rotor System is a wind power solution with diverse advantages over existing conventional wind turbines like worldwide consumption, lesser expenses, finer operational performance and better ecological advantages. This turbine rotates about a horizontal axis in reaction to wind and creates electrical energy. MARS is still being experienced, but it is planned to be released for commercial use in 2009 or 2010. Recommended spots for this turbine include islands, off-shore drilling stations and mining locations.
5. Windbelt
WindbeltThe Windbelt is an also a good apparatus for transferring wind power to electricity
The Windbelt is an also a good apparatus for transferring wind power to electricity. This turbine is invented by Shawn Frayne. It is a small-scale wind turbine which can produce 40 mill watts in 10-mph winds and merely costs a couple of dollars. The aim of making this turbine is to help the poor power their lights reasonably and carefully. It is invented by Shawn Frayne and he is trying to advance its design to make it more reasonable. This wind turbine is intended for third world countries, with installations in Guatemala and Haiti.
6. Honeywell wind turbine
Honeywell wind turbineThe Honeywell wind turbine is a tiny lightweight gearless system
The Honeywell wind turbine is a tiny lightweight gearless system. It was designed by Wind Tronics, which is six feet in diameter. As it is rooftop wind turbine that works 2 miles per hour thus is ideal for homes and small businesses. Like conventional wind turbines it does not have gears. Instead, it generates power from magnets in its blade tips. It will be presented at ACE Hardware this fall.
7. WePOWER
WePowerA vertical-axis wind turbine which works quietly and executes well in low-speed winds
It is a vertical-axis wind turbine which works quietly and executes well in low-speed winds. It is not like the other conventional turbines, which either rely only on lift, infect it uses the combination of both. Its exclusive airfoil lets it create power at stumpy wind speeds. These turbines are also used in homes, cell towers, wind farms, and buildings.
