PRLog -- Inventor Toby Kinkaid, founder of Solardyne.com is developing the Urban Wind Turbine for City-based Wind power. Silent running, safe for wildlife, and aesthetic the Helyx technology is specifically designed to be used in high population areas close to people. “Propellers are an out of date technology, they’re noisy, and unsafe for birds and bats. Urban Wind technology elegantly designed is a natural solution putting real wind technology into peoples everyday life,” says Kinkaid. Solardyne.com will manufacture the Urban Wind technology line in Portland, Oregon.
Wind farms used around the world are almost all based on old-style “Propeller”
technology noisy, and unsafe for wildlife. Urban Wind technology uses advanced materials and design to capture wind from any direction, being fully visible to birds and wildlife, producing electricity used by home owners. “Wind is a goldmine for energy consumers. At 12 cents/kWh of energy, one strong wind storm passing through a city is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Kinkaid continues. “Properly harvested - safely, and silently, everyone with an electric bill can tap in - Urban Wind power is the next big wave for smart-grids, wind energy captured in cities is untapped.”
Solardyne.com is developing the Urban Wind technology to power Street lighting systems, Water pumping, and Home power systems for Net-Metering. “Urban Wind as a market is going to expand as home owners realize how much electricity is flowing past their roofs, and how much they can actually harvest safely” says Kinkaid. “Wind farms are placed far away from cities because they use propellers. Urban Wind is technology that can actually be outside your window, generating power - and you’ll sleep like a baby.”
