Wind Power

Alternative energy is a must to sustain our future. Wind energy is a vital part of that future

New Age Wind Generation

You have traveled around and seen the windmill type generators that dot the countryside. That is old school. Introducing two new concepts in wind generators.

No. 1 EAWT systems

Look at this video and the difference will be obvious!

No more ugly windmills towering into the air. These are aesthetically pleasing and can be put in areas where you could not put the windmill type. They generate wind at slower speeds (as low as 3 MPH). It generates energy at higher speeds (200 MPH). It is not harmful to wildlife. (The cage is protected so birds or other wildlife cannot get to it. It has less moving parts. (lower maintenance). Easy to transport and assemble. All the interior space is usable (battery storage etc.) The benifit list goes on and on

No. 2 Bladeless Wind Technology

This technology is still in the experimental stages but the trials have been promising

A Short Explanation

Vortex Bladeless is a vortex induced vibration resonant wind generator. It harnesses wind energy from a phenomenon of vorticity called Vortex Shedding. Basically, bladeless technology consists of a cylinder fixed vertically with an elastic rod. The cylinder oscillates on a wind range, which then generates electricity through an alternator system. In other words, it is a wind turbine which is not actually a turbine. For more information on this cutting edge technology Follow This Link

Distinct Advantages

We ultilize the first system you see above to be able to bring wind power to more places. They come in three different sizes ranging from 100 KW to 3 MW of power and the larger units can be stacked to provide up to 12 MW of power.

Here are the advantages of the wind generation systems we utilize in all of our hydroponic facilities, green built communities and custom design systems:

• Distribution of Weight
• Generate More Power Within the Same Space
• Simplicity of Design
• Modular Design
• Ease of Transportation
• Ease of Assembly
• Integration into the Landscape
• Reduced Risk to Wildlife
• Value Added Features
• Consistency in Blade Rotation
• Operable at Higher Wind Speeds
• Operable at Lower Wind Speeds

All of these benefits are important but let's focus on the top four reasons why Hydronaturals chooses to utilize these wind generation units.

1. Reduced Risk To Wildlife
The turbine is protected inside a cage that prevents wildlife from flying, running or walking into the turning blades. This removes the risk of the units doing harm to wildlife. It also eliminates damage from such occurrences which help reduce operating costs.

2. Integration Into The Landscape
Almost everyone has seen the windmill type wind generators towering over the landscape. Nobody wants one of those near their home or business. With this new design they look more like a house than a wind generator. This allows for integration into communities and areas close to towns, making them more compatible with their surroundings.

3. Operable at Higher Wind Speeds
Unlike their predecessor these turbines can operate at speeds up to 200 MPH. The old fashioned windmill type has to shut down at speeds above 75 MPH.

4. Operable at Lower Wind Speeds
Here we have one of the most important aspects of this new age wind generator. It begins to turn and actually generate power at speeds as low as 2 to 3 MPH. The old style requires speeds of 10 MPH or higher to begin to generate more power then they consume.

We could go on and on about the advantages of these wind systems, Less moving parts, easy assembly and dis-assembly, easy to transport, more power in less space and the space inside these systems is all usable.

We use the interior space for battery storage and use nickel/zinc batteries which have a solid core and have a much higher heat tolerance and storage life then the lithium ion batteries.
