For the Cost of an iPhone, You Can Buy a Windmill that Will Power a Small House for Life




Super cheap, super efficient wind turbine could power your home for free for the rest of your life





An Indian startup company has developed a wind turbine the size of a ceiling fan that can generate up to 5 kilowatt hours of electricity per day for $750:

By comparison, household windmills currently on the market generate only a quarter of the electricity for almost twice the price:

“We are trying to revolutionize the industry by making clean energy to the common man,” says Arun George, CEO and founder of Avant Garde Innovations.

For the cost of an iphone, he says, people can be liberated from electric bills and oil dependence for at least 20 years (the guaranteed life of the turbine):

          5 kilowatt hours. It is right there in the article. Just look on your electric bill to see your consumption.

          It says it can make 5kw a day. Which would be right for a small house. Our house uses more than that, but it’s a good amount and certainly we should all try and use that much.

    3-5 kw for the price of a Iphone? I don’t think so. It says “educate” in the videoclip, it doesn’t say lie !!!

      I think if you read it you will find it says 3.5 kwh per day. Quite different to a 3.5 kw turbine.

      It’s very small for a house in the USA, but a bigger windmill shouldn’t cost much more and connected to a battery pack and a assembly of solar panels, it could power up a good size home !

    I just want to see how many people you triggered by using the words, “An Indian startup company”.

    A quick look at the numbers and keep kW and kWh very distinct. The size of the Indian machine (relative to the man working on it)would make me guess that it has an output of maybe 200W and so would make about 5kWh in a 24h windy day. The wind turbine from Amazon is 1200W (6 times bigger if my guess is right) and so should, on a windy day, produce about 29kWh compared to the 5kWh from the Indian machine. Of course it is more likely to produce only 30% of that – 9kWh.
    Depending where you live this technoolgy may or may not make sense. In places with poor or no electical infrastructure this might be a good idea. Here in Ontario, Canada, my power cost is 7 cents per kWh at night and 17cents in the daytime so a 5kWh per day machine would save me about 50 cents per day give or take; not worth the investment. Also in this climate I need a 30kW supply sometimes to keep my house warm on winter nights when there is no wind.

    The problem with wind energy is the wind doesn’t blow 24/7
