Air X Wind Turbine

When it comes to your home and renewable power, you really only have two choices: solar power and wind power.  Most people go with solar power simply because it’s less intrusive, but it can be very expensive.  Wind power, while requiring turbines, may actually be cheaper.  The Air X Wind Turbine, for example, can provide all the power one needs for some basic appliances and lights.  You can actually use it to run your television, for example, or you can use it to charge up batteries and provide backup power if your electricity ever goes out.

With winds of 12 mph or so, the Air X Wind Turbine can generate up to 38 kilowatts of power every month.  It can provide either 12, 24, or 48 voltage, allowing you to use it to power multiple items.  If you need to power a cabin in the woods, a monitoring station, or any other remote location, the Air X Wind Turbine is an excellent choice.  It’s also a very quiet turbine, so you won’t hear any annoying noise from it.  It actually slows the blades down as it reaches its top rated output so it won’t make that fluttering noise that many turbines make in high winds.  Also, the turbine has a high wind safety mode, so it will automatically slow down the turbines if the wind speed gets too high.

If you happen to live on a boat or own a boat, the Air X Wind Turbine can be very useful there, too.  It’s one of the top rated wind turbines for sailboats, and it gives you great versatility in powering up any sailing vessel.  It also features marine powder coating and is made from stainless steel, so you don’t have to worry about corrosion or rusting.

If you’re looking for a great alternative energy source but don’t want to deal with installing solar panels, take a look at wind power.  The Air X Wind Turbine shows that you don’t need a huge propeller in your back yard to take advantage of it.

Backyard Wind Turbines

If you’re looking for the newest thing in backyard wind turbines, here are three different options.  Each one will help you generate a large amount of wind power for your home, but there’s a major catch—none of them are cheap.

The Wind Dancer is an eight-bladed top of the line wind turbine.  It was actually created by a father and daughter to provide power to their home.  In addition to pulling in a great amount of wind power, this copper-colored turbine looks pretty, too.  The Wind Dancer is strong enough to handle large gusts of wind while still working with just a light breeze.  It’s also very silent.  This is because of the way its fan blades are shaped.  Unlike some backyard turbines, the Wind Dancer does not need a tall tower.  The Wind Dancer is sold by Wind Simplicity, and their systems range from $27,000 to $69,000.

If you want something a bit cheaper, the Wind Terra is also available.  It can be mounted right on your roof, so you don’t have the cost (or the eyesore) of a tower.  The Wind Terra works with almost no wind at all.  This is because its blades actually spin horizontally, maximizing the amount of energy it can product at lower wind speeds.  This backyard wind turbine option costs around $11,000.

The third option is the Skystream.  It also uses a very low amount of wind.  With this turbine, you actually mount the inverter right on the turbine itself, so the power is generated right there.  The turbine connects right into your power grid, so it provides your power right away instead of going through a battery (although a battery is available).  However, the Skystream doesn’t provide a large amount of power, so you’ll need several to really make a difference in your bill.  This system costs around $13,000.

Boon Pickens Investment in Residential Wind Turbines

Power On with Wind! 1000's of wind turbines and construction is taking place across the nation’s wind belt, from Texas to the north. To date T Boon Pickens has invested more than $2,000,000,000.00 (billion) and once complete, Pickens says the project will generate enough power to meet 20% of the nation’s power needs. Food for thought, eco friendly, but not so friendly towards the birds. If you have any further information, like how the power would connect to existing grid systems, we encourage you to leave a comment below.
