Design

All Wind Options, LLC wind turbines feature a vertical axis design engineered for maximum efficiency, reliability and quiet operation. The design incorporates three concave marine-aluminum fins on each tier with an overall 384-foot surface area. The design is scalable allowing the tri-fin modules to be stacked for a maximum kilowatt yield in a given wind. The fins are attached to a vertical shaft with the ability to capture the wind from any direction in winds as low as eight miles per hour. A technologically advanced rare-earth magnet alternator, connected to the base of the axis converts the raw power derived from the force of the wind into electricity. The turbine is housed in a steel frame, a component that can be built to suit the application, footed in a concrete pad or structurally mounted. The unit has a 10 x 20 foot print and a height of 39 to 52 feet.


Features

Overall Design:

The flexible design is configurable to match the specifications of a particular application. The turbine is suitable across a variety of applications.

Productivity:

Multiple fins have the ability to capture the wind in lower wind speeds and from any direction.

Alternator:

The technological advancement of the rare-earth alternator allows it to work at a lower rpm. The alternator location accommodates easy maintenance if required.

Size:

The compact footprint and height allow the turbine units to be mounted on or near the point of use.

Environmental:

The Wind Options wind energy system is environmentally beneficial. In a year's time, a 10 kW unit can avoid approximately 1,914 pounds of carbon dioxide, .87 pounds of sulfur dioxide, and 4 pounds of the nitrogen oxide produced by a electrical plant burning coal.

An ultra-quiet mechanical operation alleviates noise pollution.

Our wind turbines do not pose unnecessary threats to avian species. Birds tend to fly around the unit because the fins project the appearance of a solid object.
