Helical Vertical Wind Turbines at an Affordable Price!
Affordable Wind Turbines builds Wind Turbines in sizes from micro to megawatt.
Affordable Wind Turbines manufactures mini and micro sized wind turbines. Our
mini and micro sized wind turbines are built entirely within the USA and are
value priced so that anyone can afford to explore wind generated power.
When the power grid goes down (for whatever reason) there are few things more
useful than a fully charged 12 volt battery. If you've got one, for the most
part, life can go on normally. If you don't have one, you're instantly back in
the dark ages.
We design, manufacture and sell to the public, several small, inexpensive wind
powered generators that will charge 12 volt batteries when the wind is blowing.
We design, manufacture and sell to the public, several large wind turbines
ranging from 5 kw to 6 M.W.
Depending upon which model of our wind turbines that you are interested in, our
turbines are perfectly suited for:
- Science Projects involving wind turbines
- Boaters desiring to use wind generated power
- RV and travel trailers needing wind turbines to supplement their solar panels
- Hikers wanting a micro wind turbine to take with them
- Campers wanting a micro wind turbine to take with them
- Hunters wanting a micro wind turbine to take with them or to power game cameras
- Ranchers wanting to use wind turbines to help power off the grid equipment
- Homesteaders desiring to use wind power
- Remote cabins, barns, etc. that may benefit from the use of a wind turbine
- Large scale power solutions for infrastructure and corporations
Why Affordable wind Turbines Works
Inexpensive, reliable, simple, all the hallmarks of the Affordable Wind Turbines
systems make it the best choice for low and high wind speed residential and commercial
applications. The Savonius turbine based design catches wind from all directions
creating smooth powerful torque to spin the electric generator.Wind turbines in winds
as low as 10 mph the Affordable Wind Turbines system creates electricity to power
your home or business.
How it works: As the wind blows the long helical blade scoops catch wind from
all directions forcing it through the turbine. The turbine generator is connected
directly to your home and as electricity is generated your home is
powered. If the wind isn’t blowing your home 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.
