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:
- Cost-Effective Energy: Wind turbines offer a lower price per produced kilowatt-hour (kWh) compared to alternatives like solar panels.
- 24/7 Energy Production: Unlike solar panels, wind turbines generate energy day and night. In cold climates, they perform exceptionally well precisely when you need it most.
- Financial Goals: Our aim is to produce electricity for less than $0.06 per kWh (Levelized Cost of Energy).
- Energy Independence: Wind turbines provide independence from fluctuating energy costs and contribute to emission-free energy production.
- Impact on Transportation: As electric vehicles (EVs) and electric tractors become more common, wind turbines play a crucial role in reducing fossil fuel reliance, even for food production.
- Innovative Design: We’ve refined the Vertical Axle Wind Turbine (VAWT) type, specifically the Darrieus H-design. With only one rotating part and laminated wood wing profiles, these turbines are efficient and eco-friendly.
- 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.
- Wood’s Environmental Impact: Wood stores significant amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere. Combined with modern technology, its longevity outperforms other construction materials.
- Historical Proof: 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. 🌬️🌍💡
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.” add_button=”yes” btn_title=”READ MORE”]
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.” add_button=”yes” btn_title=”READ MORE”]
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.” add_button=”yes” btn_title=”READ MORE”]
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.” add_button=”yes” btn_title=”READ MORE”]
