US Wind Energy Technology - On the Cutting Edge of Science VI
The sixth wind energy innovation to come out of the USA!
6. Honeywell Wind Turbine:
What It Is:
Honeywell is a rooftop wind turbine that works in wind speeds as low as 2 miles per hour.
How It Works:
The Honeywell turbine does not have gears like traditional wind turbines. Instead, it creates power from magnets in its blade tips and in the enclosure for the blades. This, claims Honeywell, results in lower resistance, which can mean higher energy output.
Where To Find It:
The Honeywell is designed for homes and businesses. It will be available at ACE Hardware this fall.
Please go to www.youtube.com and type in "Honeywell Wind Turbine" for video material on the technology.
