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.

wow that was the gayest thing i have ever seen on my entire life..
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 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 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 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 amazing power generating tech…. awesome=)
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.
as long as its affordable it might be worth it. 100 thousand dollars is not the price.
That kind of Wind Generator interests me!!!!!!!!!
Be smart – don’t pay any more electricity bills. more info: solar.xfollow.me (Copy to your browser’s address bar)
Um… that’s nice. Why don’t you give them a call? Better yet how about posting your solutions for everybody to see? We can take the information and apply it to existing systems and improve upon your designs. Open source!
Already happening, have a look at some wind turbine design websites.
I dont care what anyone says, in URBAN surroundings, vertical axis wind turbines seem to be the best way to go.
Lots of hype without many facts. Fortunately for folks who are interested, NREL (national renewable energy laboratories) actually did test this system, on a good site, without trees or buildings to obstruct the wind. The system produced 108kWh over the course of 8 months (average 13.5kWh/month or about 1.6% of the energy consumed by the average home! A far cry from their claims of 25-30%). Google ‘nrel mariah’ to read the facts. Hold onto your wallets!
how do i download this video
I think if any windmill appears to be nearing max speed, “shifting” to lower gears may help this and perhaps sustain some of the efficiency at high speed.
I think we should also look at ways of harnessing more energy from the current turbine speeds we can do. Things like automatic gear decrease/increase.
Cool.

The US uses 3.3 terriwatts of power. How many terriwatts of power could I buy for $819 billlion?
I know a way to make it produce even more power at the same windspeed and hight.
I think with 25% more Watt.
These were kicking ass in Washington this weekend when I was there. The vertical turbine looked as if it was turning 3x faster than the prop one.
that’s an interesting boating idea, thanks for mentioning it.
Darreius turbines have much narrower power curves than rotaries, making them crappy for high variance environments like cities. Not sure what beyond the aesthetic they are going for with this…
It’s a Darreius design. That was invented a long, long time ago. Most Darreius turbines are the “eggbeater” style, but this is the same principle.
