How is the WindCube® different from other wind turbines?
The WindCube® is different from other wind turbines in a variety of ways, including: • It works more efficiently: Because the WindCube® rooftop wind turbine generates electricity by running its motor backwards, there is no need for a gear box, a system that often provides the most problems to wind turbines. • It has a much smaller footprint: Because the WindCube® does not need as much wind to generate electricity, the WindCube® has a smaller footprint than traditional wind turbines that generate the same amount of power. While the WindCube’s blade diameter is 20 feet, a wind turbine generating the same amount of electricity would need blades with a diameter of 50 feet. • Direct and immediate benefits for its users: The WindCube® takes advantage of the concept of on-site generation, the use of small-scale power generation technologies, such as wind located close to the user they are serving. On-site generation allows users to generate their own energy, offsetting all or part of their el
