WindTronics Launches the Honeywell Wind Turbine for Home and Business Owners
in Canada
Gearless Blade Tip Power System Produces Energy at 3 km/h </pre> <p><span class="xn-location">MONTREAL</span>, <span class="xn-chron">Oct. 27</span> /CNW/ -- WindTronics today announced the Canadian launch of the Honeywell Wind Turbine, a breakthrough wind energy system for home and business owners featuring the revolutionary gearless Blade Tip Power System (BTPS), which is virtually resistance and friction free. The award winning Honeywell Wind Turbine has a higher performance output and lower installed cost per kilowatt than any other unit on the market today in class and size, through its ability to generate power at the tips of the blades, effectively turning the turbine into a wind generator.</p> <pre> (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101027/AQ89499) (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20101027/AQ89499) </pre> <p>"The Honeywell Turbine makes wind technology affordable and accessible to the vast majority of Canadian homeowners, who have great wind resources," said Reg Adams, President of WindTronics. "We know that Canadian consumers are receptive to new technologies and are eager for a carbon neutral lifestyle. Our turbine allows them to generate and use renewable energy onsite, while saving money."</p> <pre> The Honeywell Wind Turbine </pre> <p>Featuring a revolutionary Blade Tip Power System (BTPS), The Honeywell Wind Turbine is a gearless wind turbine that measures just 6 feet in diameter, weighs 185 lbs (84kgs) and is able to produce 2752 kWh/yr in Class 4 winds. The Honeywell Wind Turbine's multi-stage blades allow the system to react quickly to changes in wind speed, ensuring that the maximum wind energy is captured, without the typical noise and vibration associated with traditional wind turbines. It is designed to be installed where power is consumed, allowing home and business owners to harness wind energy in a cost effective and efficient manner.</p> <p/> <p>The Blade Tip Power System is the patented technology created by WindTronics, which utilizes a system of magnets of stators to eliminate mechanical resistance and drag while capturing power at the blade tips where speed is the greatest. Rather than forcing wind to turn a central generator, the BTPS power system swiftly passes the blade tip magnets through the copper coils mounted to the enclosed perimeter frame. Traditional gearbox turbines require minimum wind speeds of 7.5 mph (12 km/h) to cut in and start generating power, while the Honeywell Wind Turbine begins generating energy with winds as low as 2 mph (3 km/h) giving it a significantly increased operating span, even in moderate winds.</p> <pre> The Honeywell Wind Turbine in Canada </pre> <p>WindTronics is manufacturing the Honeywell Wind Turbine in its new factory located in Windsor, Ontario with global marketing operations headed in <span class="xn-location">Montreal</span>, <span class="xn-location">Canada</span>. Starting in <span class="xn-chron">November 2010</span>, the Honeywell Wind Turbine will be coming off the production line and will be sold in <span class="xn-location">Canada</span> through energy dealers, select retailers, Sonepar <span class="xn-location">Canada</span> and Wesco <span class="xn-location">Canada</span>. Each turbine comes with a computerized Smart Box and inverter, allowing the system to be wired directly into a household panel or grid tied. It is ETL listed and conforms to UL 1741 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 107.1. Standards.
