Do it ourselves, for the residences portion of energy consumption and provision
Rooftop Wind Turbines
November 24, 2009 by Rich Whittle | 4 Comments
RidgeBlade is a wind-power system that can be fitted to buildings with minimum visual impact and maximum energy conversion potential, reports trendspotter Springwise.
This micro-generation system employs discreetly housed cylindrical turbines positioned horizontally along the apex of a sloping roof. The slope of the roof naturally channels wind into the turbine chamber, meaning RidgeBlade can “produce electricity under low or variable wind conditions.”
This high efficiency means that the system could pay for itself within a few years. Designed by a former Rolls Royce turbine engineer under the wing of UK-based The Power Collective. It’s a rapidly accelerating industry—one to get involved in now!
