Cut Energy Bills 15 Percent
With Wind Turbine
With Wind Turbine
Wind power gets personal with the new Honeywell Wind Turbine from EarthTronics. Think windmill — minus the mill. Put it on the roof of your house, and harness the wind to meet as much as 15 percent of your home's electricity needs.
The 6-ft.-dia. residential turbine weighs only 95 pounds and operates in wind speeds as low as 2 mph, which is significant since most wind speeds are less than 9 mph. At the other end of the scale, the Honeywell Wind Turbine generates power in wind speeds as great as 45 mph — far more than traditional wind turbines, which shut down at 29 mph to protect the gearing system. The home turbine's gearless system improves efficiency and eliminates mechanical resistance and drag — and much of the noise associated with other wind turbines.
The unit will be available in December 2009 (holiday stocking stuffer??) through contractors, retailers and hardware stores.
