WindCube®

The WindCube® relies on its "wind tunnel" effect known in physics as the Bernoulli Principle. While the rest of the wind industry generates energy through the use of free-stream wind, the WindCube® captures and amplifies the wind, which produces more kilowatt-hours (kWh). As wind encounters the WindCube® shroud, it becomes concentrated creating increased velocity and in turn, more power. By amplifying the natural wind speed, the WindCube® is able to produce more power from a smaller footprint. Proportionally, the WindCube® has the smallest footprint with the largest amount of power output in the industry. Because of these attributes, the WindCube® is uniquely designed to produce energy in urban, populated areas with space constraints.

How it Works

As the wind blows, the WindCube orients itself into the wind via an electromechanical yaw system. The shroud then catches the wind, forcing it through the turbine. The turbine generator is connected directly to your business and as electricity is generated- your business is powered. If the wind isn't blowing your business is powered by the energy grid as usual. If the wind is blowing strongly then your energy produced can exceed your energy consumed and, depending on your local utility, your meter can spin backwards rolling back your energy bill. The WindCube can operate at ambient wind speeds of as low as five miles per hour which helps keep a constant flow of power into the system.
