How does the silent wind turbine by Luethi Enterprises work?
The blades always face the wind, so the wind turbine is always in the wind, whereas the large horizontal axis wind turbines need a gearbox to angle the turbine into the wind, and also to angle the blades according to the wind speed. The gearboxes in these turbines work very hard and consequently tend to have a relatively short lifespan. The silent wind turbine by Luethi Enterprises is much simpler and also more effective. Our unique patented regulator mechanically angles the blades according to the wind speed, producing a relatively consistent power supply with little drop-off as the wind oscillates and gusts. It even continues producing power in high winds, when other wind turbines have to be switched off. For more information, see the design overview.
