Especial: Cómo hacer un aerogenerador (molino de viento o turbina eolica) Siguiendo la línea de inventos de energías renovables, hoy os traigo otro especial, esta vez para hacer un aerogenerador. Como el anterior especial para hacer un panel solar, este también es del mismo autor, y nosotros nos hemos encargado de traducirlo. Por cierto, si te ves poco capacitado o has entrado aquí buscando un aerogenerador para uso doméstico, te recomiendo que entres en eBay y mires ya que hay muy buenos precios. Las características principales de esta turbina eólica pueden variar según el tipo de motor o generador que le instalemos, pero normalmente será de unos 12v de tensión eficiente.
Disfrutad de este invento haciéndolo tanto como yo traduciéndolo para vosotros: Después de muchas búsquedas de información por todo Internet, me dí cuenta que todos los diseños tenían cinco cosas en común: Un generador.Palas.Sistema de orientación hacia el viento (Timón).Una torre para elevar la turbina hacia dónde esté el viento.Baterías y un sistema de control eléctrico.

Small Wind Turbine Available at Lowe’s. As the small wind industry grows, it’s becoming easier to buy certain models of turbines online and from big-box retailers.
For example, Southwest Windpower offers the Skystream 3.7 through Home Depot and now offers the Whisper 100 through Lowe’s. Whisper 100 can produce up to 100 kWh a month in moderate to high winds, according to Southwest Windpower. The 900-watt generator has carbon fiber blades and a rotor diameter of seven feet. The turbine weighs 47 pounds, cuts in at 7.5 mph, and produces 100 kWh/per month in 12 mph winds. Whisper 100, like other models in the Whisper line, is suitable for powering things like batteries, remote homes, and water pumps. The price of Whisper 100 varies by location and installation cost; however, I found it listed on Lowes.com for about $2,600. [+] More about Whisper 100 from Southwest Windpower.

Wind Lens - Japón. Por Raul Mannise · 31/08/2011 Yuji Ohya, un profesor de la Universidad de Kyushu, ha presentado en el marco de la Exposición Internacional de Energías Renovables realizada en Yokohama (Japón), un nuevo tipo de generador eólico. El concepto puesto a punto por Ohya se llama “Wind Lens” y consiste básicamente en una turbina embutida en una estructura con forma de aro que hace las veces “lente” capaz de intensificar el flujo del viento que incide sobre ella. Según sus creadores, este dispositivo será capaz de triplicar la energía obtenida con respecto a los generadores eólicos tradicionales.
Si los cálculos efectuados por Yuji Ohya son correctos, Japón podría reemplazar algunos de sus reactores nucleares con “granjas eólicas” basadas en estas turbinas. Japón fue duramente golpeada por las olas del tsunami originado por el terremoto que sacudió sus costas a principios de este año. Por ahora “Wind Lens” no es más que un concepto, y su creador aún no ha decidido su comercialización. Swift Wind Turbine. About SWIFT The SWIFT Wind Turbine is a structure or pole-mountable wind turbine that generates electricity by harnessing the power of the wind. With unique, patented technologies the SWIFT provides unprecedented safe, efficient, and near silent operation. The team of engineers behind SWIFT has a passion about providing safe, clean energy for everyone.
The emphasis of the SWIFT design has been focused on safety, reliability, and ease of operation, alongside the high-performance of this innovative system. Unique technologies led to the filing of five international patents, which allow the SWIFT Wind Turbine to offer: Quiet, minimal vibration structure-mounted operationSimple installationSafe, efficient, and autonomous operationVisually appealing designSustainable, harm neutral design - allowing SWIFT to become carbon and energy positive within four yearsZoning - operates below maximum noise levels and eliminates the pole fall height restrictions Technical Specifications Download Brochure.
Wind Cube. Helix Wind. Building Integrated. A mixed-use project in Chicago has been getting a lot of attention for its green elements. Most noticeable, perhaps, is the beveled corner that holds 12 vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT) by Helix Wind. The turbines are stacked in two columns on the building’s southwest corner and were included in the HOK designed-facade to cover all exterior lighting costs. If successful, Greenway could pave the way for similar installations in all kinds of buildings, including future condo and multifamily projects. The turbines grab wind from all directions and can start generating electricity in as low as 11.1 mph winds, according to Architect Magazine. Helix S594 is the aluminum turbine used in this structure and it retails for about $16,000. S594 can produce up to 4.5 kW of power, according to the manufacturer, depending on myriad factors, including, without limitation, wind conditions and siting. Each turbine measures 16′x4′ and weighs approximately 1,330 pounds.

Southwest Windpower, maker of the Skystream 3.7, unveiled a new version of the popular turbine at CES 2011 called Skystream 600. The turbine features an improved design with larger blades, enhanced software, and an improved integrated inverter. And, according to a press release, Skystream 600 will be the “first fully smart grid-enabled wind turbine” on the market when available in April 2011.
With the improvements, Skystream 600 is estimated to produce about 74% more energy than Skystream 3.7. The small wind turbine can provide an average of 7,400 kWh of energy per year in 12 mph average annual wind speeds. These numbers are pretty good — about 60% of an average American’s home energy needs — but everything depends on siting, wind conditions, tower height, and several other factors. Skystream 600 comes with the internet-accessible Skyview system showing users how much energy is produced in real time. [+] More info on the Skystream 600. Credits: Southwest Windpower. Honeywell.
