    We have a 19Kw solar system and we did so after monitoring wind speeds for 18 months. The result of that monitoring showed us wind was not viable for us, and we are in a place considered "windy." We have wind almost every single day ranging from 5 to 20mph. A windless day is very rare. However based on all the turbines available at the time none showed anything like what solar does for pay back time. Our solar will be paid off in 12 years. Wind was 30 years. We also have with 3 Tesla Powerwalls and the key is the batteries, not really the method of generation. Whether you use wind or solar, both are not full time and batteries take up a lot of the load. As it was, we spent 70% on panels and 30% on batteries, but if I did it over again, I think I'd do 60% on panels and 40% on batteries. Now as to this particular turbine, I don't see $4500 worth of material there. I think I could reproduce that for $2000 and I'm just a DIY guy. In mass production I don't see why that could not be done for $1000 wholesale, $2000 retail.

      that is complete BS. What's the point in making this $4500 wind turbine with allegedly high efficiency with about 1m diameter when you can make a 1.5m diameter turbine with half efficiency but at only $500 or two turbines at 1m diameter with half efficiency but only at $300 each. The problem is put like the wind would be a scarce resource not the money. It is much simpler to make more cheap turbines even less efficient than a very expensive one. For instance hawt's have efficiencies of about 35-50% and vawt's between 30-40% but the vawt's are very cheap (like savonius) two vawt's might cost the same as a hawt yet provide more energy.

      Take a look at the alternatives. for example there is a 7kw wind generator for £850. The problem though is the power falls off at low wind speeds, e.g. 7mph which is our average wind speed gives about 30w. The power/speed curve is a kind of s-shaped curve.

Bottom line, there may be some small degradation over the years but it’s the amount of sun shining is the one that makes the difference. With the wind turbines their production is also dependant on weather, the wind. They shouldn’t be viewed as competition for each other, as the video said.

    I have worked in the wind industry, and with the wind industry, for more than 30 years, and over the years, one wind turbine after another has been introduced claiming to be the new wonder when it comes to extracting energy from the wind.
    All these companies, and their little "wonder mills", are all as one, closed again, almost as quickly as they arose. And this one, seen in the video, will be just another example of this.
    And at the price that is stated, it is probably the best thing to still buy your El, where you now buy it.
    Regardless of how you build a turbine or how you design it, you can only extract the amount of energy from the wind that the wind contains.
    And the best wind turbines to do this are the large turbines that we see today, both on land, but especially at sea, and which are specialized down to the smallest detail, to extract the maximum potential from the energy that is available in the wind, at a given time.

    As a lot of people learnt during the solar panel install boom that happened about 15 to 20 years ago, a 20 year guarantee is only useful if the company is still around in 20 years.
    There were a lot of companies setup back then that offered 20 year guaranties on their installs, but when the customer had issues a couple years down the line due to substandard products being installed badly, they found that the company had gone out of business (But oddly enough, all the original staff then started working for a company that has a very similar name, that provided the exact same services/products, and was setup only a few weeks before the original company liquidated).
    I'm not saying that this company is like one of those, but I'd certainly want to know more about the history and future prospects of any company who's business plan involves making money out of the latest news story monopolising topic before I spent any money with them.

      You're absolutely right!! The guarantee is only as good as the company that offers it. Whether it be this wind turbine, windows for your house, a furnace, whatever the case, a lot of these companies usually end up going tits up and you are stuck with no one to cover your warranteed product. I have learned that from my many years of purchasing quality items.
      I guess before you go and do something like this, it is imperative that you do your research and don't buy into sales pitches from snake oil salesmen. If you have lots of acreage, then more solar might be the way to go. If space is limited, then a wind turbine like this might be more space efficient. Or, if you can afford both, then they will compliment one another. The point overall is, these products have a finite lifespan, and eventually it will cost a lot of money to replace them. JMO

    I have a 24V 25Amp (600W) wind system. I live outside the Columbia River Gorge, on the river. The average Wind speed is around 10 MPH, sometimes gusting to 20 or 30 MPH. You are good-to-go IN the Gorge, constant high winds.
    ---> Unfortunately, my Cheap system from China needs 20-30 MPH average for rated output. It also has to track the direction of the wind using a tail fin to keep it aimed. But, in a wind that changes direction frequently, when it changes direction, the gyroscopic forces slow the blades down, and it takes some finite amount of time to spin back up to power.
    ---> So, in conclusion, I really needed a vertical shaft wind turbine, to avoid drops in power when the wind direction changes. I also require a turbine that outputs its rated power, in 10 MPH wind, I probably get the wind speed I needed for full output about 20% of the time. Also, if you require enough power for a standard home you should look for a system with the highest voltage. That way, you can charge at least 8 car batteries in series (96V) so you don't need massive wires that carry 400AMPS or more to your inverters. Also, you'll need to buy MULTIPLE turbines for that kind of power, not to mention the cost of DOZENS of batteries.
    ---> I think you could use the 10 or 20 kilowatt battery module from a TESLA or other EV battery to save a lot of money and space.
    ---> I'm waiting for the Liquid Sodium Residential batteries that were under development a decade ago... They were supposed to store 50 KWH in the size of a 50 gallon barrel. For approx. $2000. Ideal for a hybrid solar/wind system.
    ---> One more consideration is construction quality. After about a year and a half, the BEARINGS started really humming and grinding, and the annoying hum transmitted through my entire House, like a sounding-board! You can't be rebuilding the turbine every 18 months (Not too difficult, except for getting it down and back up on the tower)

    Sticking a turbine on a domestic roof is next to useless due mainly to turbulence caused by the proximity to the building, if you had a twenty metre tower to put it on then maybe you could generate a useful amount of power. But good luck with getting permission for that. Also it looks to be about 1 metre in diameter, you can easily calculate how much energy you are likely to generate given the average windspeed in your are3a and the energy contained in an airstream of that CSA (given no turbulence of course) a few M2 of solar will far out perform it, without any maintenance. This is a chocolate teapot!

    I'd like to supplement my existing solar system, where I may not need a turbine quite as powerful as this one. Or as expensive. I noticed from the video that it runs at 24V DC which would be really important so that it's compatible with off-the-shelf portable power stations (battery pack/inverter). And in fact, an interesting feature would be the ability to simultaneously run off of solar panels and turbine at the same time, so that if there's no wind but it's sunny, or no sun but it's windy, there'd still be generation going on. I would NOT be interested in a complete system with its own battery, the turbine absolutely must be component that is available separately and compatible (20-30V DC most likely).

    Ouch! Just looked up the cost - projected to be around £4000 (over $5000) per unit.
    If you need 2 (for an average household), and then all the fancy batteries, etc, on top, that 'still' adds up to a lot of money in one go.
    Presently, I'm paying less than £1k per year on grid electricity.
    While this device might last long enough to pay off its initial cost one day, regular replacement of current batteries will keep pushing that magic day further and further into the future.
    All these off-grid systems need to seriously come down in price or every part of them needs to be guaranteed to have a very long life-span so they are economically viable - otherwise you have all the cost of buying, fitting, replacement of batteries and maintenance on your shoulders.

      Translucent blades would make it a bird grinder just like clear glass windows on tall buildings can be bird forcefields. Several years ago I saw a wind turbine that was mounted vertically and was less than 2 meters tall. It had two blades. Each looked like half a tornado and they were connected with a small gap to let the wind in. The blades' turn circumference was constant (unlike this nautilus shape). No bird would fly into the gap between the blades because it was always in motion. No bird would fly into the blade body because it was solid and opaque. Birds don't splat into tree trunks. And no bird would fly into the envelope around the blade and get smacked because the blade never intruded into the envelope.

    It may be a different story if you live near the coast, but in an urban environment it's not even close to the performance of my solar panels.
    Seriously doubt that the maintenance of a wind turbine is cheaper than solar panels.
    Any equipment with moving parts will have wear, where solar panels is a static system without moving parts.
    We currently have 10 (LG solar 3.400 KWp total) panels installed at the total cost of 4900 € (including, the inverter, the installation, software to follow up the system and the mandatory inspection by the government).
    That's about equal to the price of a single wind turbine (not installed) but my solar panels have never been cleaned and after 3 years still produces approximately 3200 Kw/h per year, which is more than double compared to this wind turbine. I have not noticed any degradation in the performance of my solar panels (up to now).
    Calling this turbine more efficient than solar panels is dubious at best.

    I have always like the idea of wind power as compared to solar. This is a small simple system that has a very bright future if properly marketed and backed. They should try and break into the California market here in the U.S. A good portion of the state has adequate wind. It also has the political climate which is pushing for renewables. Most people don't realize it, but California pretty much led the world on auto emission control requirements starting back in the 1960s.

    • @paradiselost9946
      @paradiselost9946 Před 8 měsíci

      the generator isnt the issue. what do you DO with the power being converted from kinetic to electrical? if theres nothing there to accept it, in direct proportion to it being delivered?
      batteries cant deal with it, and we design generators that are limited so batteries can deal with them, but then the generators limited in what it can produce when the wind starts getting too fast, and the batteries are still a massive bottle neck. so then we stick BRAKES on the things.
      power goes up by the cube of the wind velocity. and we just waste it and let it slip past when its getting to actually be useful. like buying a ferrari and sitting in gridlock, like jumping out of a jet plane just after takeoff. humans are smart like that. the ferrari is serving its purpose solely by sitting there, its not meant to ever be driven, lol. and i guess its worth jettisoning an f18 to get on top of that building over there...
      the brakes convert kinetic energy into heat.
      the rectifiers make heat.
      the wires make heat.
      the bearings make heat.
      the batteries make heat.
      the inverter makes heat.
      every time, a loss. an inefficiency. unavoidable they say.
      notice any... pattern developing?
      we use electricity to warm up food. to warm our hands. to warm a bit of tungsten to white hot to make light (well... we did).
      software doesnt fix the issue... yall have your heads up your arses and cant see the forest for the trees. answers there. staring you in the face. software aint going to connect the dots for you.

      if your wind speed is like 2-3 m/s you are only going to get 10-30 Watts, which is useless. Use the online Omni wind turbine calculator and use the average wind speed for your city (google it), also use a efficiency of 30% because that is more realistic.

  • @Snowwie88

    The biggest drawbacks of my solar panel array is that it does not supply any power at night and most of all in winter this is annoying. Solar panels tend to give too much power in summer, when you not really need it and too little in winter. This turbine could be ideal on (windy) cold winter nights just to keep an electric heater running to cut down significantly on gas usage, or, if the device really gives what it states you can definitely warm a room with 1,500 watts of power. Let's keep an eye on this.

    • @mnomadvfx
      @mnomadvfx Před 7 měsíci

      Both technologies are limited by supply though.
      The difference being that solar supply is intrinsically predictable both at a daily (weather not withstanding) and seasonal level.
      With adequate battery storage solar can still supply throug the night, and thankfully the EV revolution is demanding such high quantities of battery cell manufacture that domestic battery storage is becoming much more economically viable.

    As someone who has both solar and wind it is a joke to say;

    Maintenance costs are around 10% of the energy made each year and as they are mechanical. Way more likely to break down.

    The information I found from a quick googling is that 1m² of wind at 8m/s (which is a decent wind) has the energy of 314W. If you consider this method of warming your house, 314W is approximately the same amount of energy that you get from being 3 persons in a room. You need 6 of these and >8m/s wind to power a 2 kW heater. I think I will pass...

    Yes looking to add a wind turbine to supplant our solar battery setup. When we get wind and rainy days, and not factoring night as well our batteries wont get full charged…..when wet and windy periods happen the batteries slowly wont reach peak charge, and so the solar batteries discharge doesnt last as long. Wind would assist the solar to keep batteries at max capacity. Any extra charge we would sell back to grid.
