Verticalaxis wind turbine that combines efficient wind capture and an unobtrusive design for North American urban and rural projects. Designed for microgeneration, hybrid systems, and flexible installations where space, noise, and turbulent winds are limiting factors. Key benefits Omnidirectional wind capture: Verticalaxis design gathers wind from any direction, eliminating the need for yaw mechanisms and improving performance in turbulent urban airflow between buildings. Low wind startup: Advanced aerodynamics and precision permanent magnet components enable startup at 1.5 m/s, about 30 percent lower than many traditional turbines, so it generates power in light breezes. conversion efficiency: Permanent magnet generator achieves 85 percent energy conversion efficiency at 10 m/s, delivering strong energy yield for its size. Hybridready and offgrid capable: Pair with a 100 W solar panel and suitable battery/inverter (solar panel not included) to form a hybrid system able to power a 30 W LED street light continuously in most US regions. Quiet operation and reduced maintenance: Optimized blade profiles and bearing structure keep operating noise below 45 dB. A simplified drivetrain and magnetic suspension reduce friction and wear, extending maintenance intervals to 2 to 3 years and lowering lifecycle maintenance costs. Durable, stable blades: Onepiece FRP blades provide corrosion resistance, higher wind tolerance, and improved rotational stability for longterm reliability. Compact, modular installation: Modular construction reduces overall weight by about 30 percent. The unit supports ground, roof, and tower mounting, and can be assembled and handled by a single person. Practical footprint: Compact size suits courtyards, commercial rooftops, RV roofs, pathway lighting, and integrated windsolar streetlight applications. Performance highlights and design details Startup wind speed: 1.5 m/s Measured generator efficiency: 85% at 10 m/s Annual generation: Typical increase of about 25% compared with similar products in comparable conditions Noise level: Below 45 dB during operation Maintenance cycle: 2 to 3 years under normal conditions Construction: fiber reinforced plastic blades, onepiece design Motor and generator: Permanent magnet generator with magnetic suspension components to reduce mechanical friction Weight and assembly: Modular design reduces weight by approximately 30% and simplifies installation Size: Diameter 1.2 meters, height 2 meters Compatibility and installation Supports multiple mounting methods: ground pole, rooftop mount, and tower installations Designed for urban and rural sites with turbulent or variable wind conditions Intended to integrate with standard offgrid and hybrid power systems when paired with solar panels, batteries, charge controllers, and inverters (components sold separately) Use scenarios Urban lighting: Power LED streetlights and pathway lighting in neighborhoods where buildinginduced turbulence limits traditional horizontalaxis turbine performance. Trail and park illumination: Provide continuous lighting for hiking trails and park pathways when paired with a modest solar array and battery bank. Hospitality and resort features: Supplement resort or lodge energy systems and demonstrate renewable microgeneration in smallfootprint outdoor locations. Project data and community applications Fieldtested across multiple US climate zones with localized performance data available on request. Deployed in urban renewal projects to provide microgeneration for offgrid street lighting and public space illumination, supporting infrastructure upgrades and visual improvements to outdoor spaces. Why this turbine Delivers reliable microgeneration in environments with variable wind directions and low wind speeds. Compact, modular, and quiet design minimizes site impact while offering flexible installation options. Durable materials and simplified mechanical design lower maintenance needs and operating costs.
