This is a new 4 kw vertical axis wind turbine from Urban Green Energy. It has a low start up speed with a fairly large swept area. This one is on the ground which demonstrates the use of this as a possibility for a mobile generator.

  • Wow, what is the startup speed on that wind turbine? It seems to be going pretty fast for such a slow wind. Awesome video!

  • The UGE wind turbines are top of the line wind turbines.

  • It was about 3 m/s (7 mph)

    Not to worry... your redneck species is fast becoming extinct

    and what you say means nothing..NADA.

    you have no one and nothing.

    We say to hell with bird killers.

    and watch the people tear them down.

    PS..there is a free one of these turbines in dutch harbor alaska,

    if came apart is is laying in ten feet of water..

    but it's free for anyone who wants one. hahahahah

  • @goose2goose2 I say to hell with birds, just like they learn to avoid predators, the'll learn to avoid the blades. hell i need a set of four for my ranch

  • Wow! And it's pretty, too ;)

  • this reminds me of halo reach

  • Our team at GREEN POWER 4 TEXAS has truly enjoyed working as distributors-dealers-installer­s with Urban Green Energy.

    That thing would launch itself where I live. The other day we had sustained winds of 40 mph and gusts of 70 mph. Could it handle that? Yea, that's normal here.

  • Can you connect wind turbines and solar panels in a series to produce electricity?

  • Very Motivating

    YOu have much to learn about bird and bat and honeybee kills..

    it pains me to think that someone who speaks as a person

    connected to "green tech" could know so little about damage to wildlife

    populations by fast spinning turbines.

    Have I ever heard of a killing ? How about tens of thousands.

    Just do some research...

    BTY..a drag turbine is a turbine that no part of the turbine spins faster than the ambient wind speed..

    your turbine does not qualify.
