Energy Ball - A Efficient and Cheap Wind Turbine For Homes
11 September, 2008
The new turbine works with low-intensity winds, makes no noise and will be cheaper than the conventional one. The wind turbine was named Energy Ball. This has a futuristic design and looks like a sphere when it is put into function. Energy Ball may be located on the roofs of houses along with solar panels or in the gardens.
These devices can be installed inside the cities to provide necessary energy street lighting. Located at a height of at least 12 m in a region where wind beating with approximately 7 m / s, the new wind turbine can produce up to 500 kW per year. Further, Energy Ball will cost less than a conventional turbine.
The Swedish have created an innovative wind turbine that can be located on the houses or in the middle of town.
The new turbine, which looks like a sphere, works with low-intensity winds, makes no noise and will be cheaper than the conventional one.
There are many renewable energy sources that can provide an alternative to fossil fuels. Energy wind, sun or wave will replace oil in the future. Specialists in energy believes that one of the major challenges consist, actually, in finding the most efficient and cheaper alternative energy sources.
The new turbine works with Venturi effect - a phenomenon of fluid dynamics where gaseous or liquid are accelerated as a result of restricting their movement area. Because Venturi effect, the new wind turbine is more efficient in terms of aerodynamic and so may use no loudly winds to produce electricity. Further, Energy Ball will cost less than a conventional turbine.
The new turbines created by Swedish manufacturer comes to improve the existing wind instruments so far .Many Britons have shown disaffection of the wind farms because the noise and visual pollution decrease their houses prices.
The new wind turbine comes to counter these disadvantages by the fact that they are silent and do not have an disagreeable aspect. Energy Ball does not need strong winds to work.
