Features:

• No massive tower required so construction costs are lower.
• No Yaw device required.
• Less noise than HAWT models.
• Higher airfoil pitch angle improves aerodynamics.
• Lower wind startup speeds.
• Larger swept area than HAWT's with the same radius.
• No turning to face the wind so VAWT's are ideal for turbulent conditions.

API-VAWT:
All Turbines have 5 Blades with an operating wind speed of 4-25 meters/sec
(9-53mph) and a System Efficiency above 26%.
System Price includes Generator, Blades, Controller.
API-500W, 1KW, 3KW, 10KW VAWTs also available in Grid Tie versions.

Northern California Wind Power Density Map

Example:
A 4' Blade sweeps about 50sf or 5m2. So in area 3 it would have a Wind Power capability of 750 Watts (5m2 x 150W/m2 = 750Watts) at 11.5 mph.

To Convert Wind Speeds (from mph, knots ,meters, etc.) go to this Wind Conversion Chart.

For more information about Power Calculations go to Wind Power Information.
