Home Depot and other stores are starting to educate the public about wind power. And it’s about time because Ace Hardware will offer the EarthTronics Honeywill Wind Turbine, a small device rooftop device developed for home and business use. Ace is the launch partner for EarthTronics/Honeywell.The product will retail for $4,500 and it can account for 15% of a home’s energy use.
The Honeywell Wind Turbine is a gearless, “free wheeling’’ turbine that generates power from the blade tips (where the speed lies) rather than through a complex slow center shaft. By practically eliminating mechanical resistance and drag, the Honeywell Wind Turbine creates significant power (2000 kWh/yr) operating in a greater range of wind speeds (2-45 mph) than traditional wind turbines. The highest output, lowest cost per kWh installed turbine ever made. So powerful, so simple.
