Wind power is one of the fastest growing forms of alternative energy in the world. More and more, wind power mills are seen in the countryside, in large wind farms and for the most part, away from city life. But a new form of wind power is now designed to work in an urban environment. VOA producer Zulima Palacio has the story. Mill Arcega narrates.

does the wind stop blowing at night where you live?
it’s called wind
This is the way it SHOULD be done, vs. desecrating and industrializing so many scenic landscapes.
I think a investigation of wind turbines like this on a larger scale needs to happen, I have seen the one at the botanical garden in high winds its a little noisy and wobbly, But it does not give shadows like traditional wind turbines, so on a larger scale something of this nature could be a really good solution, and if its at the botanic garden it’s got the attention of the US government.
it seems to be a very effective piece of technology. It is cost effective and will ultimately, decrease our dependency on fuel. Let’s do it!

It got to be as effective as it claim in generating power. It does looks promising.
Interesting.
Does anyone know what wind speed is required for 1.2Kwh? Completed (installed) cost? How would this unit compare to the Whisper?
that would suck if a bird flew into the blades
If proper studies were done ahead of time, bird death should be non-existent. They have built a wind farm along a bird migration route here in Sweden. There are 12 turbines that 1.5 million birds pass through each year. They found one bird death between 1999-2003. And they monitor it by sight and by radar at night.
and they do die all the time , flying into these turbines!!
this one is no exception!!
that thing is junk and is to noisey!
awesome , i did a video on windfarm near me
As the opening video shows, the large wind farms don’t use a vertical design because of the poor yield they usually get? How many watts can you get in a 6mph wind? 6 mph is the cut in speed of the most efficient home wind turbines.
can i know do u hv a web so as i may know more.
may be one day i might be reseller of your products in asia. pls let me know further infor.
tks
i have been to the largest wind farms in oklahoma, they are not noisey, the wind blowing across your year is enough o drowned them out. funny thing though i saw no dead birds on the ground. peace
Bird friendly lol
VAWT > HAWT all day baby! MEGLEV all the way.
probably less noisy than you; and definitely more useful… pea brain.
Wind power is the alternate source of clean energy. There are many companies who are working towards the production of clean and more affordable energy. Transformer company, Pacific Crest Transformers has articles and whitepapers on wind energy. They also provide custom-built energy efficient transformers for wind farms.
build them in the ocean where they be more efficient quit building them in the Allegheney mountains
affordable is relative
Did you see the news topday saying that the plant making these WindSpires was going out of business or closing down. I guess the big government subsidies were running out or something. Look at my install of rooftop wind turbines and solar panels at my house. If you Favorite my videos or Subscribe that would be great. Thanks
it’s pretty! I’m all for getting off the grid and doing our part for clean living and I don’t care about the global worming debate I just like doing this stuff anyways, can you believe it?
I’m assuming this design of wind turbines use rising of heat convection along with the Darrieus wind turbine concept to generate electricity?
In part of the clip, you can see a regular horizontal axis turbine, a HAWT, turning at twice the RPM with same wind condition. That’s why the utility companies use horizontal axis turbines with propellor type blades, there is no resistance on backside. With that WindSpire, as one side catches wind, the other is resisted by same wind. That’s why so slow and low yielding.
