AMC Electric/Solectrix is an Energy BallŪ wind turbine dealer for Home Energy Americas. We have a number of electrical installations for these turbines. Below is a description of their product:
Due to the unusual and exceptional aerodynamic characteristics of the Energy BallŪ, it creates a wind flow pattern that converges first and is then accelerated through the rotor, resembling the rapids in a river (the so-called Venturi effect). This translates into a higher aerodynamic efficiency compared to conventional wind turbine designs.
The Energy BallŪ begins operating at very low wind speeds (2 m/s) and produces electricity at 3 m/s, which results in a very low standstill time. The lightweight design of the Energy BallŪ allows for multiple residential configurations. The fact that the noise level is not detectable above the background noise is a very favorable feature for residential and commercial areas.
