    Pricing is obviously a ways out yet. However, is it possible you could leave them as a (sort of budget friendly) kit? Basically where the customer assembles them. Might be able to ship via a few boxes std shipping rather than freight. Also with assembly done by the customer save them the assembly labor time. Might only save the customer a few hundred but still. Perhaps it would also help with roof installs to keep from needing special equipment like a crane to get it up there. Just a thought.

      We hope to have a variety of options available eventually, to meet various budgets and interests.

      I think there would be a HUGE demand for customer assembly. I certainly would ve VERY interested.

    What's the wind speed parameters and wattage of the easy two blade design🎉

  • @jamesstrickland517
    @jamesstrickland517 3 місяці тому +2

    build time at 90 minutes comes out to approx. 100 units a month to start. Not bad wish you all the best. As a person living in Cheyenne, WY I am deeply interested in these products since we have probably less than 25 days a year with no wind.

  • @DaveMcCall

    I'm interested in the idea of integrating a series of Harmony Turbines in a "wall" of vertical, bi-facial PV solar panels. Would having the turbines in a gap in a wall help improve efficiency or reduce it? If the wall creates a high-pressure zone on one side and low-pressure zone on the other side, I'm postulating that it could channel air through a gap with a turbine in it (in addition to air just spilling over the top of the wall). Just wondering if you guys have theorized or tested any modeling in this kind of scenario? I could see a setup like that reducing wind velocity but with increased static pressures, perhaps increasing torque potential... or maybe the air accelerates through the gap?

    What do you anticipate the KW rating for the 4 scoop units?

    • @HarmonyTurbines
      @HarmonyTurbines  3 місяці тому

      We believe the current prototype we are working on (our 400w model) could generate around 400w in a 25mph wind, but the true power output will be determined by our testing and BETA Field testing. We will publish our ratings further down the road when we have tested the turbines sufficiently.

    Really enjoy seeing your progress. We're building an off-grid home in northern Ontario. We have the garage built and ready for the solar panels. Building the house next summer with plans of installing a wind generator on the roof. We're on 8 acres with lots of trees so mounting on the roof gets the wind turbine almost above the trees. I'm guessing we'll need to add additional roof support for the weight and lateral stresses. Do you have any numbers or suggestions on what I'd need for a roof installation?

  • @johnjmw1
    @johnjmw1 3 місяці тому

    Two questions. I know these are still in the designing phase but...
    What kind of seasonal or yearly maintenance are you thinking... lube, greasing fittings?
    Have you started looking at the size of base/foundation or slab are you looking at these requiring?

  • @dnomyarnostaw
    @dnomyarnostaw 3 місяці тому

    I don't know if you realise it, but the Turbine is actually useful when folded into a Cylinder.
    If you were to add another 1 - 1.5 metres of height, you have a useful Flettner Rotor to drive up to 30ft of Yacht in winds up to 25 knots, and then while it is moored, it can be expanded to generate electricity.
    I have the calculations for performance, as I am building a Rotor of similar dimensions myself. Let me know if the concept is of interest.

    • @HarmonyTurbines
      @HarmonyTurbines  3 місяці тому

      YES, it's a concept we were already aware of. It's on our radar for further down the road!

  • @kencotton4645

    Will you be shipping units assembled or as components? The components approach would seem to be cheaper to ship.

    • @HarmonyTurbines
      @HarmonyTurbines  3 місяці тому

      Initially we believe we'll be assembling most of the product, with only minor assembly required by the consumer. The more responsibility for building you leave in the hands of the consumer, the greater the risk of the product not being built correctly. It's possible down the road as the design is fine-tuned and simplified even further, that the component approach could be an option.

  • @murixbob
    @murixbob 3 місяці тому

    Hopefully you also do on building testing before finalizing on how many scoops the design will use. Since they likely will perform different in real world wind conditions that generally aren't constant wind at a constant speed.

    • @HarmonyTurbines
      @HarmonyTurbines  3 місяці тому +1

      We used the wind tunnel testing to help guide us in the designs, but this is what Alpha and Beta testing will be for... comparing the various designs.

    • @murixbob
      @murixbob 3 місяці тому

      @@HarmonyTurbines Excited to see the results. I imagine in real world conditions a mix of the different scoop options might be the best way to maximize power generation.

    • @HarmonyTurbines

      We do not have published ratings yet, because we’re still in development and just now starting to work on those numbers. We expect the current prototype we are working on (our 400w model) to generate around 400w in a 25mph wind, but the true power output will be determined by our testing and BETA Field testing.

    Hi, I'm into applying wind energy in other ways than for electric conversion. How is there no 'culture' for the wind powered variaty of what you in the US know as the hit 'n' miss engines?
    I mean: A windturbine generates enough power to have say a table saw running.

    Your "Two Scoop" design is inherently more efficient than your "Four Scoop" (really eight scoop) design. If you could stack two 2-scoopers, it would be even better. There is almost always a brisk breeze at my farm here in Moriarty NM. Now if you could solve the energy storage problem as well as the energy generation, you would have a complete solution for off-grid power.

      Not really necessary, unless its for aesthetics. There is no problem with it surviving big winds when folded.
      What is really needed is streamlined supporting arms. They should use yacht mast sections for the vertical supports, to improve airflow.
