Comparing this to another system at 12mph of wind is really not fair in that my 12mph at my RoofMill\u2122 is probably 7 or 8 mph on a pole mounted system.  So, at a good site my wind is much better than a competing system and their 7mph could be my 12mph.  It&#8217;s the aerodynamics of the roof.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/windenergy7.com\/IMAGES-green-wind-energy\/rooftop-wind-turbine-barn-ohio-11.jpg\" alt=\"rooftop wind turbine home windmill roof mount windmill\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A properly sited RoofMill\u2122 uses the roof as a wind concentrator, a giant spoiler to direct and concentrate the wind right into the turbine&#8217;s sweet spot.  This is one of the reasons rooftop wind is so important to get right.  Look at this image below.  In a 10 mph wind, the RoofMill\u2122 will be doing an estimated 17 mph.  This is from a flow simulation cad modeling program.  This is an algorithmic wind load modeling example of why a RoofMill\u2122, properly sited is so effective.  What you see is a solid model of a house where using Flow Simulation, we simulate wind blowing at a steady uniform open field speed of 10mph to a roof of 45deg angle or 12\/12 pitch to the house. You\u2019ll notice that the wind over the roof increases its velocity, just as I explained in my dealer video number 1, to about twice that of the open field wind speed. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/windenergy7.com\/IMAGES-green-wind-energy\/roof-effect-10mph-windenergy7-roofmill-sm.jpg\" alt=\"Rooftop Wind Turbine, Roof Mount Wind Turbine, Roof Windmill\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These systems are only available from WindEnergy7-Com or one of their local dealers.
