With an annual energy production rate of 2000 KWh and an instantaneous power rating of 1.2 kW (1200 watts), the Mariah Power Windspire turbine could be the answer to the global energy drain being caused by consumer electronics.
Strong Black Friday trading suggests that come recession or depression, most of us now consider our gadgets integral to the running of our daily lives.
For $5,000, the Windspire can stand relatively unnoticed in your back yard and make all your gaming consoles, LCD TVs and other electronics instantly greener.
Unusual design
Because of it’s unusual design, cheap installation price and comparatively high energy production rating, the Windspire has won a host of awards, including the “GoingGreen” Top 100 Winner.
The first multi-unit commercial installation of 6 Windspires was ordered in Reno, Navada by Devon Bank, an LEED registered project. he LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) Green Building Rating System is a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. Combined with the banks solar panel program, they hope to create up to 40% of their own energy needs.
At $5,000, the Windspire is certainly low cost, and standing at 30 feet tall and 2 feet wide, offers a sleek propeller free design - a great relief to bird lovers and birds alike. The 30 feet height is also below most residential and urban zoning restrictions, making it ideal for placing on top of blocks of flats - who can share the installation cost whilst benefiting jointly.
Extremely Quiet
The most common complaint from residence living near propeller wind turbine farms is not the destruction of their view, but the annoying noise these turbines produce. The unusually slender design of the Windspire allows it to operate virtually silently thanks to its lower operational speed.
Feel Good Factor
One thing we really like about the Wind Spire at Trade 2 save is that the turbine allows you to wirelessly check your power production at any time, a bit like the Carbon Footprint rating that Trade 2 save will be launching at the end of the year.
The Windspire comes with a 5 year limited warranty and a quote can be obtained from Mariah Power
