A smart choice for sustainable energy

Invest in Your Own Wind Turbine: A Smart Move for Renewable Energy

Are you considering investing in renewable energy? Look no further than your own electricity-producing wind turbine. Here are some compelling reasons why wind turbines make sense:

 

  1. Sustainable Energy Source: Harness the power of the wind to generate clean, renewable energy.
  2. Cost Savings: Reduce your electricity bills and protect yourself from rising energy costs.
  3. Environmental Impact: Lower your carbon footprint and contribute to a greener planet.
  4. Energy Independence: Achieve energy independence and reduce your reliance on traditional power grids and fluctuating energy costs. This is especially crucial for those in developing countries and warzones, where power outages or a complete lack of electrical power are common challenges.
  5. Cost-Effective Energy: Wind turbines offer a lower price per produced kilowatt-hour (kWh) compared to alternatives like solar panels.
  6. 24/7 Energy Production: Unlike solar panels, wind turbines generate energy both day and night. In cold climates, they perform exceptionally well precisely when you need it most.
  7. Financial Goals: Our goal is to produce electricity for less than $0.06 per kWh (Levelized Cost of Energy), which is less than a third of the cost compared to some floating offshore solutions. Even better, by making our design drawings open and free for everyone, you can potentially reduce the price even further.
  8. Impact on Transportation: As electric vehicles (EVs), scooters/motorbikes and electric tractors become more common, wind turbines play a crucial role in reducing fossil fuel reliance, for transportation and even food production.
  9. Innovative Design: We’ve refined the Vertical Axle Wind Turbine (VAWT) type, specifically the Darrieus H-design. With only one rotating part and wood (alternatively bamboo and hemp) wing profiles, these turbines are efficient and eco-friendly.
  10. Size Considerations: VAWT H-designs offer an efficient solution for limited spaces. These turbines are suitable for areas with an intercepted/swept area of up to 16m², 4.5 meters in height, and 3.5 meters in diameter. Remarkably, they can produce over 10,000 kilowatt-hours of energy annually.
  11. Wood’s Environmental Impact: Wood, bamboo and hemp stores significant amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere. Combined with modern technology, its longevity outperforms other construction materials.
  12. Historical Proof for Wood: In Norway, ancient wooden churches called “Stav kirke” still stand, with some timber dating back to the 11th century.

Investing in a wind turbine isn’t just about energy—it’s about sustainability, cost savings, and a greener future. 🌬️🌍💡

  • Tax Benefits for Home Energy Production In many countries and states, there are tax advantages for producing energy at home for personal use. When you generate your own electricity through renewable sources like solar panels or wind turbines, you may be exempt from certain taxes. These incentives encourage sustainable energy practices and reduce your overall energy costs. Consider exploring these tax benefits as you embrace clean energy solutions for your home! 🌿💡
  • Benefits of Using Your Own Produced Power When you generate electricity for personal use, you avoid the “transport fee” associated with the electric grid. Since there’s no energy loss during transportation, you save on costs. Additionally, you’re not burdened by the substantial investment and grid upgrades. This alone can result in savings of up to $0.05 per kilowatt-hour consumed. Consider the advantages of self-produced power as you make energy choices for your home! 💡🔌
  • Maximizing Excess Electricity: Grid-Connected Options When your home is connected to the electric grid, surplus electricity production offers several opportunities: 1) Grid Sales: Sell excess energy back to the grid, benefiting both you and the community 2) Local Storage: Store surplus electricity in batteries for peak hours or emergencies. 3) EV Charging: Power your electric vehicle (EV) or tractor directly from home-generated energy. 4) Cryptocurrency Mining: Use excess power for mining cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. 5) Green Hydrogen or Ammonia Production: Explore eco-friendly options by converting excess electricity.
  • Local energy storage becomes essential when you’re “off-grid” and the utility grid isn’t available. To ensure continuous power, consider combining solar panels with hybrid solutions. These systems seamlessly overlap between solar power, battery storage, and grid power as needed, even during cloudy conditions or grid outages. By doing so, you’ll have reliable electricity 24/7. 🌞🔋🔌

Lowest Carbon Footprint per Produced kWh

Only 3.6g CO2 per kWh – 70% Less Than Other Wind Turbines, 90% Less Than Solar (PV)

Wood, Bamboo, and Hemp are valuable construction materials that absorb CO2 from the atmosphere during their growth as plants, trees, and bushes. These materials offer several benefits when used in wind turbines:

1) Sustainable Choice: Wood, bamboo, and hemp align with environmental goals, making them eco-friendly options for turbine construction.

2) Enhanced Techniques: Combining these materials with techniques like lamination and 3D grinding further improves their suitability for wind turbine applications.

Lowest Price Per kWh

Unlike solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, Wind turbines generate energy both day and night.

Additionally, in cold climates, wind turbines produce most of their energy precisely when it is needed most.

 

Our goal is to produce electricity for less than $0.06 per kilowatt-hour (kWh)

Funfact: 1 billion of these small windturbines installed around the globe, could replace all eletrcity produced by coal ~10,000 TWh/year.

A wind turbine the size of a tree, made from a tree

The Carnetic 316 wind turbine is a compact system, measuring 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) wide and 4.5 meters (15 feet) high, excluding the tower.

It covers approximately 16 square meters of swept area and produces around 3 kW of power at wind speeds of 9-10 m/s.

The turbine’s power coefficient (Cp) is approximately 0.4.

Its three wing blades are made from dry cedar wood, each weighing about 10 kg.

 

Interestingly, a single tree commonly used for timber can provide enough material to create wing blades for 10 wind turbines or even more, depending on the tree’s size.

 

The horizontal struts connecting the wings to the center axle can also be made from wood, based on local availability and preference.

 

The Cedar Wings can last for more than 20 years, depending on climate and environment.

Additionally, there are no micro- or nano-plastic particles, as all materials used are natural and biodegradable.

 

When it comes to changing the wings, the process typically takes less than one hour when using a lift.

Renewable

“The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind,” as Bob Dylan famously sang.

Wind energy plays a crucial role in our transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources, alongside solar and hydro power.

Wind has a rich history: as early as 5000 BC, people harnessed wind energy to propel boats along the Nile River.

The ancient Persian windmill, dating back to around 1000 BC, represents the oldest known windmill design.

Over time, humans have used wind for various purposes, including grinding, pumping, woodcutting, and electricity generation.

Wind is a global phenomenon, touching every part of the globe day and night.

This widespread availability makes it an excellent candidate for harnessing free energy.

In the American Midwest, between 1850 and 1900, an impressive number of small wind turbines—possibly up to six (6) million—were installed on farms to power irrigation pumps.

This historical example highlights the potential for smaller-scale electrical wind turbines even today.

The journey toward large-scale wind power began with the “Tvind” wind turbine in Denmark. Officially opened on March 26, 1978. This megawatt-class turbine marked the beginning of the multimegawatt turbines we see today. Remarkably, the Tvind wind turbine continues to operate successfully, 47 years after its inauguration.
