EarthTronics Unveils Honeywell Wind Turbine that can Reduce Average Home Energy Bills by 18 Percent Gearless Blade Tip Power System Generates Power in Low Wind Speeds  Integrated wind has recieved much comment as of late with some experts questioning it's economic viability and potential as a workable technology. If I recall the same sort of doubts were expressed with the advent of the ironclad battleship and the computer...and they both seem to have caught on. Whatever the case here's one product set to hit the market that seems to be a light at the end of the wind tunnel...
“Consumers are seeking a more carbon neutral lifestyle,” said Reg Adams, president of EarthTronics. “The Honeywell Wind Turbine enables this lifestyle via wind technology, an alternative energy source that reduces your monthly electric bills.”Hmm, a wind turbine that works even in low windspeeds such as you would find in your typical urban setting? “More than 50 percent of our portfolio is tied to energy efficiency,” said Dan Sheflin, vice president, advanced technology of Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions. “The Wind Turbine reinforces Honeywell’s commitment to energy efficiency and lowering emissions, therefore maximizing the opportunity to use new resources, like wind energy.” The Honeywell Wind Turbine will be available in Fall 2009 through launch partner Ace Hardware and its 4,600 independently owned and operated stores for an MSRP of $4,500.

About WindTronics- Windtronics is a private technology company founded in Muskegon Michigan at the MichiganAlternative & Renewable Energy Centre (MAREC) and developer of the Gearless Blade TipPower System. Windtronics is the licensee for the Honeywell Wind Turbine. Today, EarthTronics announced the Honeywell WindTurbine, an innovative wind energy system for home and business owners that has a higher performance output and lower installed cost per kilowatt than any other unit on the market. The Honeywell Wind Turbine allows consumers to leverage wind as an energy sourceand can reduce the average home energy bill by 18 percent. The turbine generates energy from its gearless Blade Tip Power System that eliminates mechanical resistance and drag. This technology allows the turbine to generate power in wind speeds as low as 2 miles per hour and as high 45 miles per hour, without the typical noise associated with wind turbines. The Blade Tip Power System also provides greater efficiency at reduced cost. The comment section is restricted to members only. |
