windmills go for 1/10th this price. This should market well at around $700, above that, people would opt for the windmill. Fire the marketing exec. Cost to manufacture this should be more than $177 on a medium scale.
Let the Chinese mass produce these and they can get it down to 1/10 the price. Wind turbines unlike solar, is just an engineering problem keeping them from mass adoption. If you could buy this for $500 or so, everyone would have one..
$3500 bucks. wow that's pretty expensive. I would definately go green, but the costs are still way to expensive for small wind turbines and solar panels.
@mozeus5 Absolutely, the prices are prohibitive. Think if the UN set up a program. They start a company, buy a patent and sell these things at cost to governments, business and direct to people. Mass produced, wind generators would be dirt cheap and with one on every home and small start up companies placing them wherever they can with profit sharing deals etc etc ....
@mozeus5 The difference is with a wind or solar system you OWN your electric, whereas the status quo is simply dumping money down someone elses hole in order to buy your power. And with financing typically you put zero money down and wind up eliminating your electric bill, thereby replacing it with a financing bill which is almost always lower than what your electric bill was in the first place.
With renewables there is no such thing as "too expensive".
yep the right kinda of green technology should be inexpensive and a real game changer. take nano ink thin film photovoltaics for example. as an emerging technology we wont be able to buy till later this year or maybe next year. But costs are around 20c per watt with panels starting as low as 1w all the way up to industrial KW panels. literally once this comes out all existing solar tech will be defunkt. i think a few mobile phone companies are going to start releasing solar phones too.

bonjour. super cette éolienne, mais.. ont ne vie pas tous au bord d'un aéroport.. Ce matériel a l'air d'avoir besoin d'une force de vent considérable.
yea in most area wind doesnt stay at a constant 28 mph, however after studying these wind turbines I see what they need, a wind catcher.
Ok no one knows WTF a wind catcher is, but I do I see it in my head and what it is, well it is simple. Think of a hood scoop on the hood of a hotrod, it catches air and forces it into the carberator, that is what I meen, a large scoop that funnels air into a smaller area focased on the wind turbine, 5 to 6 mph winds can be vamped up to 28 easy!
@UpcomingJedi You're right that those are scoops, but it's not the scoop he's describing. Imagine the scoop he's describing as a funnel. The wind enters at the large end of the funnel and gets compressed as the funnel shrinks to a small opening. Because the wind is getting compressed, it has to shoot out faster our of the small opening. Where the air is shooting out is where the wind turbine would be placed. It's a great concept that I could actually see being made.
@goose2goose2 I am sure there has been stuff long discovered and kept "hidden" for oil and coal is the answer to everything!
I can just see it working in my head that is all, and wounder if it can be done. I am sure it can and wind can be used to produce all the electricity you will need for your home. But then how will the electric companies make there money?

I invented a breakthrough source of energy, which contradicts the law of conservation of energy.

Value of the energy produced yearly about $5400. I am looking for $300 000 for a prototype and for $3M for patents.
@glynbrain he means a tethered blimp. Therefore it stays in the same place... and reaps the benefits of jet-stream speed winds which are also constant.. only problem is that the jet-stream moves with the seasons...
@goose2goose2 true true. its definitely more than 100mph wind anything from 50kts to 215kts is possible. And they arnt particularly big. just very long. I dont think a blip is actually suitable for this. But maby a lifting body of some sort. a flying wing or something. When its in the jet stream is should be easily capable of lifting the tether, the problem would be getting it up there initially. once in the jet stream it would be a glider basically with somewhat unlimited lift.
Respond to this video... it could have electric motors added on as boosters for when the wind dropped to 50kts and since its tethered it would just need to draw power from the ground. they would be needed only in emergency situations to keep it in the air. The glider could just follow the stronger currents for normal operation.
vertical wind turbines work way better than the traditional kind,because it spins without frictions,i want to get something like that i almost bought a traditional kind of wind turbine...she looks beautiful(the woman)!
I built one of these and well it's shite... the wind has to be above 2.8mph to generate more than 3kw at 240volt although i have improved the design it no longer needs my cat to sit on top to stop it flying away and i don't have to wear ear defenders when the wind exceeds 4.2mph!! but the design is totally flawed as mine got stolen so it has no anti theft built in :(
Average 500 watts, that might be enough to power my computer and peripherals. The GE 1.5MW turbines generate 30% under best conditions. It woud take over 9 million of them to replace the US power grid and thats with no storage devices. The only alternative to fossel fuel is nuclear. Fusion prefered or Thorium Reaction but Uranium will do in pinch.
US grid now= 40Quads=116x10e8MWH/year; A 1.5Mw turbine,(26.9%avg in US) 1.5mwx365dayx24hrsx20%=3.5MWH/year. Divide 116/3.5 = 3.3Million Turbines required. Project future usage&cars/buses going electric triple it to 9Million. You cant calculate using peak 1.5MW cause they generate less than 30% peak. It takes 2 years to payback mfg/install energy for a turbine. I have them close by & there is no plan to decomission them after their 20yr life is up. Look at those now installed & see their output.
@Texmurphy51 wow , who new that 30 men women and child used 1.5 megawat.
lets see 1500000 watts divided by thirty = 50 thousand watts. thats 5 hundred 100 watt light bulbs, i better go turn one off. befor my house burns down.
Using you 30 people number you only take homes into account. In the Obama future we may have not factories but for now Factories, hospitals, malls, subways...well you get the idea. Again you cant use the 1.5Meg figure because that is maximum output. 20 to 27% of that is best case. I am not against the use of wind or solar but to bet our future on it is insane. Other than Nuclear the only large source is Oil, Natural Gas and Coal.
@Texmurphy51 i got that 30 people number from you. 300 million people divided by 9 million wind towers. thats roughly 30 people per tower, a really stupid number when you consider no one could even pay for that much power. that would be an annual bill of 43,000 dollars for each citizen not each house hold. your numbers are absolutely ludicrous. there is no way each and every citizen
uses that much power. maybe your numbers need to be reviewed for trustworthiness.
She says 500 watts at 28mph. Very rarely does the wind blow 28mph in most locations. Average wind speed around the country is 8-15mph. So what's that, 100 watts out of this thing? For $3500? Yeesh. A 100 watt solar panel would be much cheaper.
a 100 watt solar panel will only put out 100 watts at peak solar conditions. Depending on your solar resource available it may only produce 30 watts on average
@proaudiohd Thats the problem with wind turbines. The amount of power they produce is so low that they need to be heavily subsidized to be interesting. And the fact that wind power is unstable and unreliable means that backup power is always necessary.
@proaudiohd you could build one of these for a couple hundred dollars, the idea is brilliant. for people who don't want to build them though, I hope they sell lots. more power to them!
Cool if all the street and hwy lamp pole had one of these in the center of it. Could not only cut the cost to keep the streets lights on add solar to it and the state could sel the extra energy to the electric companies making some extra green to offset taxes then sell ad space on them
@sweepmeoffmyfeetnow: That's the best idea I've heard so far this year. It makes absolute sense; therefore, the federal government will never consider it.
But try pitching your idea to the "green" Terminator; he just might take you up on it. With all the eco-friendly laws Arnold has passed, Californians can't even fart in public!
P.S. If you become insanely rich, you can use YouTube to track me down and say thank$. (:^)
my states monopoly power company buys politicians instead. but, they did cancel all future coal and gas projects
and now invest 100 percent wind. because they want to make money from thin air before you do. im sure the banning of private electrical is to soon follow, after all they are a legal monopoly.
Just by how much her hair is blowing I would say there is at least a 15-20 mph wind going on there. Certainly well beyond 5 mph. However, the turbine is performing very well for that wind anyway. I like it.
@MACKATTACK1970 - or just get a good location sound man with the right gear and there would be no wind noise. Amazing how youtube has allowed crappy sound to trickle into acceptance. If this were a half hour TV show we would turn the channel.
if cars were on the same production scale as this small firm then they would cost on average more than a million dollars.
as in any are of technology, the development stage must be heavily financed from the state in order kick start a market oriented development eventually.

I built one of these and well it's shite... the wind has to be above 2.8mph to generate more than 3kw at 240volt although i have improved the design it no longer needs my cat to sit on top to stop it flying away and i don't have to wear ear defenders when the wind exceeds 4.2mph!! but the design is totally flawed as mine got stolen so it has no anti theft built in :(

Go solar
So 500 watts is crap.
And 0.00 watts with no wind.

Average 500 watts, that might be enough to power my computer and peripherals. The GE 1.5MW turbines generate 30% under best conditions. It woud take over 9 million of them to replace the US power grid and thats with no storage devices. The only alternative to fossel fuel is nuclear. Fusion prefered or Thorium Reaction but Uranium will do in pinch.

@Texmurphy51 my math says you need 30,000 1.5 mega watts wind towers, we put up 2000 a year, in 15 years were done.
your math says we need 273,000 50 megawatt nuclear power stations.
datzfast 2 years ago
US grid now= 40Quads=116x10e8MWH/year; A 1.5Mw turbine,(26.9%avg in US) 1.5mwx365dayx24hrsx20%=3.5MWH/year. Divide 116/3.5 = 3.3Million Turbines required. Project future usage&cars/buses going electric triple it to 9Million. You cant calculate using peak 1.5MW cause they generate less than 30% peak. It takes 2 years to payback mfg/install energy for a turbine. I have them close by & there is no plan to decomission them after their 20yr life is up. Look at those now installed & see their output.
Texmurphy51 2 years ago
@Texmurphy51 wow , who new that 30 men women and child used 1.5 megawat.
lets see 1500000 watts divided by thirty = 50 thousand watts. thats 5 hundred 100 watt light bulbs, i better go turn one off. befor my house burns down.
datzfast 2 years ago
Using you 30 people number you only take homes into account. In the Obama future we may have not factories but for now Factories, hospitals, malls, subways...well you get the idea. Again you cant use the 1.5Meg figure because that is maximum output. 20 to 27% of that is best case. I am not against the use of wind or solar but to bet our future on it is insane. Other than Nuclear the only large source is Oil, Natural Gas and Coal.
Texmurphy51 2 years ago
@Texmurphy51 i got that 30 people number from you. 300 million people divided by 9 million wind towers. thats roughly 30 people per tower, a really stupid number when you consider no one could even pay for that much power. that would be an annual bill of 43,000 dollars for each citizen not each house hold. your numbers are absolutely ludicrous. there is no way each and every citizen
uses that much power. maybe your numbers need to be reviewed for trustworthiness.

She says 500 watts at 28mph. Very rarely does the wind blow 28mph in most locations. Average wind speed around the country is 8-15mph. So what's that, 100 watts out of this thing? For $3500? Yeesh. A 100 watt solar panel would be much cheaper.
proaudiohd 2 years ago 36
@proaudiohd
a 100 watt solar panel will only put out 100 watts at peak solar conditions. Depending on your solar resource available it may only produce 30 watts on average
prodigy1186 1 year ago
@proaudiohd Thats the problem with wind turbines. The amount of power they produce is so low that they need to be heavily subsidized to be interesting. And the fact that wind power is unstable and unreliable means that backup power is always necessary.

@proaudiohd Not to mention you could build one yourself for less than a thousand and have it produce the same amount of watts.

Cool if all the street and hwy lamp pole had one of these in the center of it. Could not only cut the cost to keep the streets lights on add solar to it and the state could sel the extra energy to the electric companies making some extra green to offset taxes then sell ad space on them
sweepmeoffmyfeetnow 2 years ago 4
@sweepmeoffmyfeetnow: That's the best idea I've heard so far this year. It makes absolute sense; therefore, the federal government will never consider it.
But try pitching your idea to the "green" Terminator; he just might take you up on it. With all the eco-friendly laws Arnold has passed, Californians can't even fart in public!
P.S. If you become insanely rich, you can use YouTube to track me down and say thank$. (:^)
Armando2012102 2 years ago
@sweepmeoffmyfeetnow oh really. my state doesnt buy power from its citizens.
my states monopoly power company buys politicians instead. but, they did cancel all future coal and gas projects
and now invest 100 percent wind. because they want to make money from thin air before you do. im sure the banning of private electrical is to soon follow, after all they are a legal monopoly.
if they do i am prepared to go with coal.

riebedebie,
Why would 500 watts be a joke? If youre an engineer you should know that the mechanical energy 1Nms could easily be achieved.
Maybe you have kW in your head for some reason.
If its pushing 500kW Ill take 2! lol
wirespider01 2 years ago
Just by how much her hair is blowing I would say there is at least a 15-20 mph wind going on there. Certainly well beyond 5 mph. However, the turbine is performing very well for that wind anyway. I like it.

if cars were on the same production scale as this small firm then they would cost on average more than a million dollars.
as in any are of technology, the development stage must be heavily financed from the state in order kick start a market oriented development eventually.
