I anxiously await results of the current installations. I am a developer, in a position to use this system in a specific application. I need additional information on cost, mounting heights required to assist in determining A.E.P., cost of installing, maintenance, maintenance frequency, and the like. My first location has annual average wind speed of 11.9 mph. Please respond at my email address. Great concept and installations. I anxiously await results of the current installations.

While the WindCube measures 22x22x12 feet, its blades are NOT 50 feet. This is the size of a traditional wind turbine. The article <b> should </b> read:"The WindCube produces the same amount of energy in a 22x22x12-foot framework as a traditional turbine with blades 50 feet in diameter"See <a href="http://news.prnewswire.com/DisplayReleaseContent.aspx?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/05-05-2009/0005019808&EDATE=" rel="nofollow"> this article </a> for more information, or visit the <a href="http://www.getsmartenergy.com" rel="nofollow"> Green Energy Technologies website. </a>Also, if the WindCube is not fit for your building, it can be tower mounted and still supply the same benefits of on-site generation.Thanks! Hi –
There is a typo in this article. While the WindCube measures 22x22x12 feet, its blades are NOT 50 feet. This is the size of a traditional wind turbine. The article should read:

“The WindCube produces the same amount of energy in a 22x22x12-foot framework as a traditional turbine with blades 50 feet in diameter”

See this article for more information, or visit the Green Energy Technologies website.

Also, if the WindCube is not fit for your building, it can be tower mounted and still supply the same benefits of on-site generation.

Thanks!

How do you install the 50 feet blades? “it measures 22x22x12 feet”.
How do you install the 50 feet blades?

The WindCube does have an electromechanical yaw system, meaning it changes with wind direction.

Thanks!

This another illogical concept I am afraid, because it does not change with wind direction. Also, if it's truly 60KW, which it does not appear to be large enough, most rooftops will not support its sheer weight. Additionally in high winds it simply too much force to put on a roof I think. But I wish them luck and I hope it does well.I have been looking at these rooftop wind turbines for home and business that WindEnergy7.com is selling. I read about it on <a href="http://windpowerforums.com/"WindPowerForums</a>. These systems are not too far reaching in terms of putting stress on a building, they are really advanced systems and expandable. A guy in my town is putting one in and he is becoming a <a href="http://windenergy7.com/turbines/?page_id=48"wind turbine dealer</a>. That’s real nice if the wind always blows one way.
