What is an Electric Pinwheel ^TM?

A unique type of wind turbine/generator with a patent-pending semi-rigid fabric blade, opening the way for personalizing your transition to renewable energy.

             

Designed for lower wind speeds and a safe coexistence with people and buildings, an Electric Pinwheel^TM helps to address zoning and regulation issues with a lightweight, flexible, and aesthetically pleasing construction.

4 Unique Features of an Electric Pinwheel^TM

 

1) Wide range of colors available

• Standard blade sleeves made from a high-performance synthetic material with a Mylar sub-structure to hold an airfoil shape. 
  

• Hub made from recycled plastic, and available in 8 colors.

• Fabric vertical tail surface provides eye-catching space for logos and graphics.  

 

 

 

• Tail mounting option for holding flags (Flag Package)

 

  

  2) Semi-rigid blade structure and lightweight construction eliminates the hazard of blade impact and greatly reduces tower requirements

 

• The patent-pending fabric blade structure is supported by lightweight composite rods, which simply bend and slide within the rotating hub upon impact but remain rigid in the direction of wind flow. 

 

 

   

3) Portability.  

 

• An entire Electric Pinwheel^TM (including tower) can be assembled in minutes for backpacking, hiking, or easy transportation to festivals and concerts. 

• The blade and tail support rods slide out and can be placed inside one of the tower sections for protection during transport. 

• If installed at a residence or business an Electric Pinwheel^TM can be moved along with the owners, helping lower the risk of financial payback. 
  

 

4) Pre-Engineered complete system 

 

Many are surprised at the total cost of “going green” when it comes to making your own energy.  The hidden secret with wind power is the TOTAL cost of having a wind turbine.  The cost of a large tower can easily equal the cost of the wind turbine at the top, and further costs come in the form of charge controllers, inverters, batteries, and distribution equipment.  The total of cost is often prohibitive for most people to go completely off-grid. 

 

 

 

• An Electric Pinwheel^TM is available in a package including tower hardware, charge controller, and inverter.  Electronics are already  connected in an outdoor-rated enclosure and ready to deliver 110VAC.

• Power use can be transitioned over to renewable sources based upon high-use items such as computers, laptop and mobile phone charging, lighting, and small appliances.  More capacity can be added over time as financially feasible and solar can be added for a robust hybrid solution.
