Wind power is one of the fastest growing forms of alternative energy in the world. More and more, wind power mills are seen in the countryside, in large wind farms and for the most part, away from city life. But a new form of wind power is now designed to work in an urban environment. VOA producer Zulima Palacio has the story. Mill Arcega narrates.

I think a …
I think a investigation of wind turbines like this on a larger scale needs to happen, I have seen the one at the botanical garden in high winds its a little noisy and wobbly, But it does not give shadows like traditional wind turbines, so on a larger scale something of this nature could be a really good solution, and if its at the botanic garden it’s got the attention of the US government.
This is the way it …
This is the way it SHOULD be done, vs. desecrating and industrializing so many scenic landscapes.
it’s called wind
it’s called wind
does the wind stop …
does the wind stop blowing at night where you live?
Love to have a …
Love to have a vertical wind turbine. Check out OIL SPILL ELIMINATOR on You Tube
Power can be stored …
Power can be stored as hot water or by charging batteries. I didn’t use the link to see the website, but it’s normal logic thinking based on ordinary media information
New type fridges …
New type fridges and washers use a fraction of the old style. The challenge is energy storage unless you have a contract with your power company to sell when you have too much and get some of theirs when not. And, wind is available at night as well unless your wind systems are solely anabatic/catabatic. A 3 kw wind turbine combined with some solar voltaic and maybe some geo-thermal will make you totally independent of your current energy providers.
wind fan+ small …
wind fan+ small generator=electricity
if you live in the windy area, it will produce the electricity 24 hours none stop , you pay no electricity bill and you can also sell the the extra electricity to electric company, it depend on how many wind turbine you have it. just like money maker machine in your back yard.

I built my own Wind Turbine for UNDER $100 that is currently powering my 1600 Square Foot Home using the plans at:

I’m all for wind power!

DarthTanner,
At night, get energy from the turbine? What the heck are you talking about?
the turbine?
the turbine?
And where do you …
And where do you get electricity from at night?

Hmmm …
“Mutske161″
Hmmm let me guess…by simply adding more magnets and or coils or a bigger alternator = more power
This wind generator …
This wind generator could never make enough electricity to power the average home.
Look the test results up at NREL 100 kWhours in a year. The average home uses 100 times that amount not to mention the machine fell apart and the test couldn’t even be finished!
Aww man, not good …
Aww man, not good for suburban environment!? Count me out!
I like the idea but …
I like the idea but unfortuanitly it will be a waste of money not unless thiers a lot of wind and theirs like a small caravan to power
wow that was the …
wow that was the gayest thing i have ever seen on my entire life..
Vertical axis mills …
Vertical axis mills are good in turbulent environments, but are less efficient than propeller types. There’s no way “one of those will power 100% of your home energy needs” (wind would have to constantly blow).
I’ve been using a …
I’ve been using a magnetic generator to power my kitchen appliances. I built the generator with the plans at:

The easiest way is to build a turbine on your own. You can contact me if you need step by step instructions.
sorry but ok, it’s …
sorry but ok, it’s good for the environment but when you see that at 0:12, I do not believe that is rellay good. it’s horrible. so the new one, can be nice, if every house have one.
I wonder if this …
I wonder if this device (or similar system) could be installed, and still be productive, if it were integrated up the vertical edge of tall buildings in special alcoves. Wind speed at the corners of tall structures (esp’ flat faced oblong shaped skyscrapers) can be several times ambient wind speeds due to deflection.
Just an idea!!!

Oh wow thats …
Oh wow thats amazing power generating tech…. awesome=)
Well I would love …
Well I would love to have my own power. No more central power plants, think about the cost reduction for the country, the state/province the muncipality and you in terms of money needed and space needed. Have these local wind turbines and you can condemn those dinousar power plants and sell them to more developers.
