http://WINDENERGY7.COM – A wind turbine converts kinetic energy from the wind into electricity for your home. WindEnergy7 is the is the fastest growing manufacturer of hybrid power solar wind turbines in the US.

http://WINDENERGY7.com – Wind Turbines are our specialty, we invented the Wind Turbine Kit. wind turbines are the most productive way to power your home. If you are in a wind zone 2 or above we recommend a hybrid wind/solar wind turbine system for your home.

Wind turbines are wind turbines used for microgeneration. Rather than using large commercial wind turbines, such as those found in wind farms, wind turbines can be deployed easily by any homeowner. WindEnergy7 sells these wind turbines in kits and has two main types of wind turbine kits. RoofMill, is a wind turbine kit that mounts on the roof peak of any home or business. TowerMill is a higher capacity wind turbine kit that is mounted atop a 36 foot monopole tower.

These wind turbines are from 1000 to 5000 watts capacity. WindEnergy7 also developed the first hybrid wind/solar home energy kit. All RoofMill and TowerMill systems feature hybrid wind/solar design giving the WindEnergy7 systems an edge over any other wind turbine on the market.

Wind turbines for residential scale use are available, they are usually approximately 7 to 12 feet in diameter and produce electricity at a rate of 1000 to 5,000 watts at their tested wind speed. WindEnergy7 Wind Turbines have been designed to be very lightweight to be sensitive to minor wind shifts and a rapid response to wind gusts on the wind turbine. The smallk wind turbine kits from WindEnergy7 are quiet, durable, and reliable making them neighborhood friendly and effective on any home or business.

The only productive wind turbines are traditional horizontal axis wind turbines. Vertical axis wind turbines are a growing type of fad wind turbine in the small-wind market and are long proven ineffective. Makers of vertical axis wind turbines such as WePower, Urban Green Energy, Helix Wind, and Windspire Energy, have mostly failed to grow in the wind turbine market because of the poor design of vertical windmills.

Electromagnetic braking regulates the speed by dumping off excess energy. This way the wind turbine continues to produce electricity in high winds.

Wind Turbines from WindEnergy7 have direct drive generators, direct current output, lifetime bearings using a traditional reliable tail to point into the wind. Larger, more costly turbines generally have geared power trains, alternating current output and are actively pointed into the wind. Direct drive generators are also used on some large wind turbines.
Installation.

The RoofMill is the only wind turbine proven safe, reliable, and quiet when installed on a roof. This is because of the patented design of their mount that eliminates vibration and is certified to stand up to 130 mph wind.

Wind Turbine Bird Strike

Sunday, September 18th, 2011

Wind Turbine Bird Strike? I have had home windmills at the ranch and these days I have 3 home windmills on my roof. They are the RoofMill product from WindEnergy7. I have never seen a bird death from a windmill. Our home windmill systems are now installed from Hawaii to Massachusetts, Europe and Canada. I have yet to have a single report from a customer, dealer, or installer about a bird death from my systems. I am sure I will at some point. But it’s a pretty solid fact that I rely on when people ask me about birds and wind generators. I am very comfortable in assuring them that it’s fine.

See this video below, check it out. Those trees are packed with nests and I have baby birds everywhere. I have feeders and bird houses front and back of my house. You can hear in every one of my videos that I have birds everywhere. They don’t mess with the windmills, they fly right around them but steer clear. Birds are very cautious and agile animals.

One wind energy expert was quoted.. “It’s easy to compare wind farms and wind turbines unfavorable to nothing.” But if you actually take all the major threats to birds, wind turbines pale in any comparison.

Studies show that the big utility scale turbines kill one to two birds per year, per turbine, on average. Scientists like the ones of the Audobon Society have concluded that the issue of studying birds and home wind turbines is so insignificant that it is not worth studying.

I have three home wind turbines at my home and have yet to see a bird that is stupid enough not to stear clear of it. Birds are agile and aware as part of their instincts. Ever put out a harmless new bird feeder? A bird lover will know that birds are cautious, careful. I know, I have bird houses and feeders front and back of my home and love to watch the birds every day. They provide great amusement for my 2 cats. :)

Most important to bird lovers is these two facts which offset any concern they have.

(1) The Wind Energy is replacing Coal Mining, Uranium Mining, Oil Exploration, Burning of Fossil Fuels and much greater habitat destruction.

(2) All other forms of energy are worse for the birds than a wind energy for the air, water, trees, and resources that are important to the birds.

This is why the National Audobon Society endorses responsible wind energy. See for yourself.

To see more videos of our home windmills, go to — WindEnergy7.Com — and you can find info about becoming an owner, installer, or dealer of our rooftop windmill RoofMill™ systems, or our new tower mounted windmill the TowerMill™. There are still areas open for new dealers to become the local source for wind/solar systems. Contact us by filling out a contact form and we will refer you to someone who can help provide you with information on buying a system or becoming a dealer.
