The world has been focusing on lowering the global carbon footprint. Why? Because the effects of global warming and climate change are real, and someone needs to address them, that’s why. One approach to reducing carbon emissions is the utilization of wind power; however, conventional turbines are becoming less popular. Other renewables are also lacking. Thankfully, there is a 2,400 W garden-sized bladeless power solution that is so unconventional that it might just work when the weather won’t.
This is why conventional turbines are becoming a less popular choice
Horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) are the popular conventional choice for harnessing wind, as they can capture stronger winds at higher altitudes. They typically consist of three or more blades that rotate around a horizontal axis, and are a familiar sight in wind farms, according to Enel Green Power. However, they are becoming a less popular choice for renewable power production.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, HAWTs have some major concerns and challenges, including:
- Environmental and aesthetic concerns
- They have a significant visual impact and disrupt the landscape
- Blades result in severe noise pollution
- Wildlife threat, including birds and bats
- Operational and maintenance challenges
- Efficiency is limited due to dependence on wind direction
- Their size and weight make transport, installation, and maintenance challenging
They are also severely impractical in urban areas or locations with limited available space, as they require vast spaces to operate. Thankfully, there is a solution that is garden-sized, bladeless, and powerful!
It’s garden-size, bladeless, and powerful
An alternative energy company called Semtive USA Inc. has engineered a unique wind turbine system. This system is a proudly American design and is also manufactured in the U.S. According to a report by PR Newswire, these systems have made their mark in pilot sites across the world, including homes, businesses, and nonprofits across the U.S., Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
This bladeless turbine is durable and powerful. It is called the Nemoi M, and its durability is thanks to aerospace-grade aluminum. It boasts a rated power capacity of 2,400 W and can operate in varying wind speeds from light breezes to extreme winds. The turbine system features a Trinity Energy Management Interface (EMI), which is a high-tech inverter and energy management solution.
The EMI integrates wind, solar, and storage resources to exploit natural operating periods and offset load during peak demand times when power prices peak.
Its advantages include so much more than power production
According to PR Newswire, the Nemoi M’s advantages are so much more than just power production. The additional advantages include the following:
- Significantly decreases the cost of renewable power for homes and commercial organizations
- Produces clean power at a significantly competitive levelized cost of energy (LCOE) as low as $0.01/kWh
- Simple design that can be installed on concrete pads in under an hour
- Can be installed as a standalone system or as a hybrid renewable system
- Virtually noiseless
- Safe for birds and bats
“We are proud to offer a decentralized energy solution that will provide access to reliable, affordable clean energy for all. Semtive solutions will help solar installers expand their market with hybrid systems that minimize costs, reduce the need for large roof space, and optimize energy production.” – Ignacio Juarez, CEO of Semtive
Conventional turbines, while beneficial in certain regions that can accommodate them, just do not make the cut for everyone. That is why innovative designs, such as this unique and powerful bladeless turbine that can power your home, are necessary to meet the renewable energy demands where conventional designs cannot. Not only do they help citizens and communities to achieve their personal climate goals, but they also contribute to the greater global mission of mitigating the effects of climate change.
