We have a lot boat owners that inquire about the best set up for their crafts
Which is more efficient when under sail and the most reliable?

The innovative (and controversial) UK wave hub being built on the Firth has been giving the go ahead – Energy that gets produced underwater and that can’t be seen to the naked must be hailed as a great achievement.As long is it does not have a negative impact in the local marine life the more of green and clean energy we can put into the Scottish Power grid is fantastic, Well done.

Do you have any diagrams or pictures of your unit available? I am interested in using it as a propulsion source for a “sail” boat.

I drew something a lot like the picture of the vertical axis mill they have, but my concept’s a little different than the helix, I don’t know much about CAD/CAM, who would be a good point of contact to talk about my idea with?

Interesting site from the University of
Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario talking about
wind energy including vertical wind turbines.

Another site of interest is Urban Turbines.

Looks like Windaus Energy has put out a
specifications sheet on their website.

It’s a bit slow to load in Adobe Reader
but here’s the link:

Windaus address according to Yellowpages.ca is
the following:

Windaus Energy Inc
519-770-0546
27 Copernicus Boulevard,
Brantford, ON N3P 1N4

It’s in an industrial mall off of Memorial
if anyone is in the Brantford Ontario area.

Next time I’m in that area, I’ll have to
take a looksey and see if I can find the
place.

Have sent 3 emails and 1 snail mail to Windaus with no response to any of them.
Think they are fraudulent!

I got an issue of Popular Mechanics today and went searching for the wind turbine. found this page and the link to the Canada site. I DO want to put a wind generator on the ranch but wanted something small without guy wires running everwhere. We have plenty of wind so I am looking forward to hearing if they have a 1KW unit as well. will Post more as I know
