Breezergy Micro Wind Turbine
Compact micro wind turbine with rated output sufficient to cover the base load of a small household
Breezergy is a highly compact micro wind turbine with rated output sufficient to cover the base load of a small household. In comparison to other big, heavy turbines which are expensive, complex or need heavy machinery to be set up, Breezergy consists of just 2 parts – a generator with tail and metal blades with a hub.
Weighing just 30kg, it can easily be mounted to any pole available and used in remote areas without access to energy grids. Its metal rotor is efficient yet very robust and can’t be damaged in sandy conditions, heat or salt. Easy to install, the turbine can be mounted with a few screws. The 1kW of power provided can charge a car battery or heat water and would serve a small household in Germany or a normal household in a developing country. Anyone with a tree, a tower or a building can install such a turbine to generate electricity. The SkyWind NG series turbines are already powering the first houses in Africa. Ideal conditions include coastal areas or flat areas.
