Go "off the grid" or "net-metered" for
under $2,000.
-
Extreme simplicity
-
Vertical axis (rotational
power to ground level)
-
Omni-directional
-
No governors or controls
required for most applications
-
Light
weight

-
Low cost
-
Easy to
maintain
-
High starting power in low
wind speeds
-
Silent
running
-
Self-damping sails insuring
durability
-
No transmission required in
many applications
-
Resides in a plane above the
top supporting journal
*
-
Convenient hook-up to
appliances
-
Extremely versatile (size,
configuration,
application)
-
Minimal tower requirements
(roof mountable)
-
Easy installation (one person
installation)
-
Urban
compatible
-
Expands applications for wind
power
-
Easy to build (Cut and measure
parts, off-shelf
materials)
-
Serves both practical and
recreational
applications
-
Portable

*
Unlike
other vertical axis windmills, the
Green Revolutions™ Windmill
requires no supporting
bearing above the rotor. This means that the height of the tower is
unrestricted. The higher the tower, the greater the output.
