Gearless Blade Tip Power System Generates Power in Low Wind Speeds
MUSKEGON, Mich., June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, EarthTronics announced the Honeywell Wind Turbine, an innovative wind energy system for home and business owners that has a higher performance output and lower installed cost per kilowatt than any other unit on the market.
The Honeywell Wind Turbine allows consumers to leverage wind as an energy source and can reduce the average home energy bill by 18 percent. The turbine generates energy from its gearless Blade Tip Power System that eliminates mechanical resistance and drag. This technology allows the turbine to generate power in wind speeds as low as 2 miles per hour and as high 45 miles per hour, without the typical noise associated with wind turbines. The Blade Tip Power System also provides greater efficiency at reduced cost.
'Consumers are seeing a more carbon neutral lifestyle,' said Reg Adams, president of EarthTronics. 'The Honeywell Wind Turbine enables this lifestyle via wind technology, an alternative energy source, while also reducing monthly electric bills.'
'More than 50 percent of our portfolio is tied to energy efficiency,' said Dan Sheflin, vice president, advanced technology of Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions. 'The Wind Turbine reinforces Honeywell's commitment to energy efficiency and lowering emissions, therefore maximizing the opportunity to use new resources, like wind energy.'
The Honeywell Wind Turbine will be available in Fall 2009 through launch partner Ace Hardware and its 4,600 independently owned and operated stores for an MSRP of $4,500.
