UGE Raises The Bar For Vertical Axis Micro Wind Turbines
The wind turbine company UGE first crossed our radar in 2012, when it teamed with GE to launch Sanya Skypump, the world’s first EV charging station powered directly by a wind turbine. Now the company is back with the launch of VisionAIR3, a ramped up, high efficiency version of the … [continued]
Reshuffling Our Top 5 Micro Wind Turbines
One of the most popular micro wind turbine companies around, Southwest Windpower, began to scale back operations last year and has apparently closed its doors, which means that our list of Top 5 Micro Wind Turbines is overdue for a re-do. As a preliminary step, let’s take a look at … [continued]
Arista Power Introduces Portable Micro Wind Turbine
Need clean, renewable power in a remote, off-grid location? Arista Power may have developed the most compact, portable micro wind turbine yet. Weighing in at 15 pounds, the 300i version of its 3-bladed micro wind turbine can be carried in a hard or soft-pack carrying case.
Hybrid Wind/Solar Power Generators for Homes & Businesses
These look pretty cool. And apparently they are getting popular in San Diego. They are small wind turbines combined with solar panels from DyoCore. The name of this product is SolAir.
Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines — An Option for You?
Wind power is growing fast, as anyone here on CleanTechnica should know by now. It is exploding as its costs fall and the high costs of other power sources (i.e. coal and nuclear) are made more apparent and rise. And, this is all expected to continue in the years to come because wind power technologies are quickly being developed and improved, their fuel (wind) is expected to remain free indefinitely, and the costs of coal and nuclear are expected to continue rising.
All-in-One Portable Wind Turbine Tested (and Liked) by U.S. Army
The WindTamer Corporation has come up with what looks like the kitchen sink of renewable energy, combining a wind turbine with a micro-mini smart grid, solar energy and power storage. The U.S. Army’ RDECOM (Research, Development and Engineering Command) has been testing a portable version of the wind turbine system, called “Power on Demand,” and so far they
