| The
Windspire is a low cost, attractive, plug-n-produce wind power
appliance that provides a safe and attractive method for harnessing
power from the wind. At only 30 feet tall and 2 feet in radius,
Windspire is distinguished by its sleek propeller-free design, ultra
quiet operation, rugged construction, and affordable pricing. Designed
for operation where we live and work, it comes complete with a high
efficiency generator, integrated inverter, hinged monopole, and
wireless performance monitor.
Attractive
- Manufactured with corrosion-resistant soft silver paint that can be
re-painted in any color, Windspire provides a truly
aesthetically-inspiring renewable wind power option. It is appropriate
for rural, suburban, and some urban residential environments alike, and
at 30 feet, it is below typical residential and urban zoning
restrictions. Several Windspires placed artistically in arrays can form
an interesting display of kinetic art in front of small businesses,
commercial buildings, resorts, etc.
Extremely Quiet
- Our uniquely slender vertical axis design allows Windspire to operate
with a low tip speed ratio (the edges of the rotor spin just 2 to 3
times the speed of the wind), which makes it virtually silent.
Durable, Simple Installation, Low Maintenance
- Rugged yet simple construction means durability - Windspire is rated
for winds up to 100 mph - and low maintenance for customers.
Installation is simple, and can be completed by a professional
installer in a matter of hours. The Windspire kit comes complete with
everything you will typically need, except the concrete, so installers
do not need to source numerous other components. Once installed, you
can "plug 'n produce" - plug it into your outlet to begin drawing power
from the wind. Alternatively you can have it hard-wired into your
building. Regular maintenance is limited to a couple of minutes a year
to oil the bearings, located 9 feet above the ground.
Power from Advanced Technology
- Mariah Power’s patented technology includes a rotor, generator, and
inverter designed as a complete system to optimize the conversion of
wind energy into electricity. The 1.2 kW (1.2 kilowatt, or 1200 watts)
Windspire will produce approximately 2000* kilowatt hours per year in
12 mile per hour average winds. The Windspire also includes an internal
wireless modem that can continuously transmit power production
information directly to your computer so you can check your power
production at any time.
