HelyxTM wind turbine in low wind speeds

Toby Kinkaid narrates a description of his invention HelyxTM wind generator in a low wind speed test. This wind technology is totally silent, and safe for wildlife such as birds. The HelyxTM wind turbine operates in a wide range of wind speeds. For example, a regular "propeller" type wind generator needs at least 7 Mph wind speed to begin to turn. The HelyxTM wind turbine (see video) turns at 2 Mph wind speed. Excellent characteristic for the "Urban Turbine". The HelyxTM is designed to be the "personal computer" of the energy industry. These are a series of real world field tests. Toby Kinkaid is an inventor based in Portland, Oregon, founder of www.solardyne.com and co-founder of Oregon Wind Corporation. www.oregonwind.com

hello sir what is the wind speed it need,

[TobyKinkaid11]

The HelyxTM Hx-40 has a measured Cut-In speed at 5.5 mph wind speed. The HelyxTM technology is designed for urban wind conditions.

with that how much it make power

[TobyKinkaid11]

Cut-In wind speed refers to the wind speed required to cause the "working surfaces" to "cut-in" and begin to turn, therefore the beginning of the power curve. At Cut-in, power is zero and goes up from there (v3) as wind speed increases.

WORLD RECORD: BIGGEST WIND TURBINE

Visit: windturbinecarriedbywheels.wee­bly.com

ZERO-NOISE from gears and generators since they're sealed underground.

SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS since the turbines are slow-moving.

DOES NOT NEED TO OCCUPY A WIDER LANDSCAPE since the turbine can be very tall.

MAY BE LOWER-COST since it can use parts of junked trucks and others.

ELUDES HURRICANE FORCE since the blades automatically close.

HELPS THE WIND ENERGY COMPANIES since it is FREE FOR ALL.

I think it was the second mertopolis was hit by megaminds super death solar powered ray....

[sgwbyyy]

No, really, this is verrrry in a fish net.....?

[sgwbyyy]

The FORCE!!!!!

[callmeshane303]

Yes Darling I enjoyed the pirouet (?) but RPM , Wind Speed and the all important Watts - Volts - Amps - plotted on a logarithmic scale would be just as pretty - if not actually useful....

[NextInvader]

Why is there a big lazer :O

[windturbinesinc]

It seems that this type of wind turbine is still able to function even in slower speed of the wind which is an advantage because it also might also mean that this turbine can just be placed anywhere. Usually, the location is the first thing that needs to consider to fully make use of wind energy in wind turbines to generate free electricity.
