The Power Flower from Xturbines is Designed to Function at Low Speeds
Michael Hines — March 14, 2011 — Eco
Wind power is about to become much more accessible thanks to the Power Flower. The Power Flower is a revolutionary wind turbine designed to create wind power at speeds as low as 2 mph.
The typical wind speed that a wind turbine needs to produce power at is 7 mph, making the Power Flower a truly revolutionary piece. The Power Flower can start cranking out power at less than half of those speeds and maxes out at 400W. The Power Flower is also pretty good looking, designed to look like an actual flower. This combination of good looks and ease-of-use should help to make the Power Flower a go-to choice for residential and small-scale wind power projects. After all, who wouldn't want to fill their yard full of power-producing flowers?
