Honeywell wind turbine

 * http://www.windtronics.com/home Blade tip power system purchase ,strip apart, HackPatents and upload design to internet. The blades actually reduce the speed if the wind goes above a certain speed, preventing the system from being damaged while still generating electricity. Other systems have to let the blade free-wheel proportional to the wind force in order to prevent mechanical damage to the system.

Import to South-Africa and reverse engineer design so we can hack and produce the thing at cost price for $1000 using unemployed people who can't be sued for civil debt. One unit generates about 500watts . Remember hacking patents and selling designs is a civil issue and you can't go to jail for civil debt in South-Africa

 * The electronic circuitry can be reverse engineered. Use Power electronic journals from IEEE, handbooks etc. and consulting engineers to uderstand the math theory, PWM waveforms etc. Then implement the theory on the reverse engineered copied board hacked from Windtronics turbine. From the patent the design uses a Cuk converter. A detailed Gerber file, Eagle schematic and PCB lay-out can be reverse engineered from any existing Cuk converter. It is developing the source code and PID feedback routines that is more complicated.

1KW VAWT Powertree (Grid, Island, Hybrid)

The 1000w wind generator comprises a multiple bladed rotor with a vertical axle, and is designed as a so called upwind rotor. The nacelle is bolted to the airfoil mast, and houses the rotor, bearings and generator. The gearless synchronous generator produces three-phase alternating current. A wind vane is not required as the yaw drive functions automatically. . The yaw bearing with the slip ring joints is fitted below the airfoil mast. The bottom face of the yaw bearing forms a flange which can be used to connect a tubular mast.

Tri-Aero Blade Wind turbine
Iweather or Iweathar tri-aero blade wind turbine. Developed by Russel Witthuhn as reported in Eskom ETA awards south -africa 2012. Scan the design using a 3D-laser scanner to obtain CNC DXF files. It will also use some sort of variable frequency, variable voltage to DC converter that can be hacked. Publish the design on the internet. It is probably patented, something fronting companies with bankrupt "CEOs" are not afraid of.

Creates a vacuum behind blades generating twice the power of traditional wind turbines. Combine this idea with the gearbox less blades idea from Honeywell http://www.windtronics.com

For power conversion to electrical, use the dynometer idea from solar links on making a home-made DIY dino 1kwH.

http://www.homeenergy.se/ Fans ball The “Energy Ball”, a product from the Netherlands which is also sold in the neighbouring country of Belgium. The windmill is made by a company named “Home Energy” (read a snippet of their website in English, French and Swedish). Energy_ball_urban_windmillThe Energy Ball, which can be placed on a roof or on a mast in the garden, is said to deliver more energy than a traditional windmill, and to generate electricity at a very low wind speed of 2 metres per second (Beaufort 2). The secret of these results is the “Venturi-effect”, inspired by river currents. Thanks to the “unusual and exceptional aerodynamic characteristics”, the machine creates a wind flow pattern that “converges first and is then accelerated through the rotor”. Furthermore, Home Energy labels the Energy Ball as "beautiful" and "noiseless", addressing two important objections against urban windmills: noise pollution and visual intrusion.
