Windspire
->
Do you want to produce your own electricity for your house? How about producing 1.2 kW of electricity every day by your own personal wind turbine? Now you can have one for your household electrical needs. You can set-up a small wind turbine that can cater the need for electricity while maintaining safe residential and urban zoning restrictions.
Windspire is a low cost, attractive, plug-n-produce wind power appliance that provides a safe and attractive method for harnessing power from the wind. The complete solution (only 30 feet tall and 2 feet in radius) includes a high efficiency generator, integrated inverter, hinged monopole, and wireless performance monitor.
It incorporate a uniquely slender vertical axis design which allows Windspire to operate with a low tip speed ratio (the edges of the rotor spin just 2 to 3 times the speed of the wind), which makes it virtually silent and but can handle winds up to 100 mph.
The Windspire kit comes complete with everything you will typically need, except the concrete, so installers do not need to source numerous other components. A regular maintenance is limited to a couple of minutes a year to oil the bearings, which located 9 feet above the ground.
Windspire will produce approximately 2000 kilowatt hours per year in 12 mile per hour average winds (based on initial test data). The cost to own one is ranging based on the location for shipment and installation but roughly around USD$5000 per unit exclusive shipping cost. So if you think you want this for your own need, please contact Mariah Power with all the required information (i.e your address, phone number, quantity of units, proposed application and others).

Me too… hehehe….
By the way, how come Malaysian entrepreneur didn’t come out with some sort of clone version of this product. I think if it were developed in Malaysia, the cost might be much more cheaper.
