Sauer Energy Wind Tunnel Testing 2011

http://www.SauerEnergy.com: We are one of the fastest growing residential wind power companies in America. We have a patented 1.5KW turbine that has garnered massive world wide attention.

Since January 2011, we have received over 130,000 visits to our website from 163 different countries and the average viewing time has been around 41/2 minutes long.

So, out of the 196 countries in the World, our technology has penetrated 163 of them.

This video shows our Wind Tunnel testing at the University of Washington back in early 2011. You can see the full specs under the "TURBINE" tab at our site.

I live in florida. Could it handle hurricane cat 5, 150 mph winds?

[sauerenergy]

@celyl I don't think any turbine can handle 150MPH winds. If a hurricane were to be headed your way, we would suggest taking down the turbine. If you have yet to see how easy it is to assemble, look at our other video in our channel to watch how it is done. I hope this answers your question.

What are the specs.....Is this any good?

[sauerenergy]

@torkjoy1 The specs can be found on our homepage under the "TURBINE" tab.

@sauerenergy Hi I was wondering if you have actual output data from any of your installs. also, is this product self-installed or do you guys help me put it up?

1.5KW!?! for $7000!! So, 1.5KW = 1500W, after I turn on my 1500 W hair dryer what will power the rest of my electrical needs? Or, will I have to buy 10-12 of these at $7000 each to have enough power to do me any good at powering my house? Doesn't sound very cost effective to me.

Let's do a Demo in Central Texas. We can use my house. I'll pay for it.

Could someone at Sauer explain why this system is so expensive vs. the regular tower system when the components are less expensive (i.e. plastic) . I do like the design, I think it is a viable design, but cost prohibitive. Could you get back to me on that? How is it on the Mississippi Gulf Coast winds?

[lnardozi1]

It's plastic and a generator - it should be CHEAPER than a generator to produce. So who gets the lion's share of this 7k? I'll bet you anything you want it goes to the big box where you buy it. Why not sell them directly, you'd get a heck of a lot more buyers for a 3,500 machine than you'll get for a 7k machine. It's simply not cost effective at that price.

[lnardozi1]

You DO realize that at .08 per KWH it would take 7 YEARS of CONTINUOUS FULL POWER OPERATION to pay for itself? For people that have a 25mph wind for only 12 hours a day it would take 14 years. For people that have a 10mph wind 12 hours a day this device would not pay for itself, given that the price of energy did not change.

I feel excited about the Sauer wind turbine. I share your belief that it will be a benefit to mankind. There is always a need for energy and wind energy has yet to be used effectively. I am expecting the best from your idea.

@STARFIRESOLAR If, as is claimed, it spins @ between 2 & 3 mph wind speed, and is generating substantial current by <5mph, these are improvements over anything thus far advanced, including the Darrius rotor, a huge one of which was erected in the Texas panhandle, visible from I-40...typically, they failed to maintain it, as did California & Arizona with the GE 50kw fans they put up to catch the Santa Ana winds, then were too incompetent to lubricate regularly! Vertical shafts SHOULD do better!
