I have chosen to do project three on a urban-friendly wind turbine, which can be used for industrial applications and for specialized commercial and private use as well. The turbine is approx. 12 meters tall and is of vertical stature, enabling a more compact solution to wind power. The blade design is of an 'airfoil' shape to catch lift from the wind and the twist is an evolution of the 'Quietrevolution' Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (V.A.W.T) range.
The 'Ecoventus' V.A.W.T provides lighting to city streets and roads and can also be used for mains power supply. Energy is stored in large capacitors inside the body of the Ecoventus. Assembly is simple, as the bodies are modular and each rotor can be stacked in conjunction with the corresponding body parts. Blades are then attached accordingly.
