PROGRESS OF WIND TURBINES
This is not the type of Wind Turbines I use on Container Homes but it is information for the oil industry in this, one of the biggest oil regions in the world. I'm trying now to get an idea how many abandon oil platforms there is in the Gulf. If we were to take some of the money our government waste on the worthless programs and use it to develop these platforms. It would cut down on electricity cost and production pollution caused buy fuel burned during generation. Watch this video.

CONTAINER SUB-DIVISION
We are considering building a sub-division of container homes and this is one of our finalist.
Our thoughts include solar panels,wind turbines and rain catching system.

Gearless Wind Turbine Launches Today
THE BEST INFO SITE AVAILABLE.
Gearless Wind Turbine Launches Today
The much-anticipated Honeywell Wind Turbine
from WindTronics officially launches today, one day prior to Earth
Day. This is a small wind turbine that we’ve mentioned extensively –
here’s a video of one
spinning. The launch is supported by a global network of distributors,
partners, and retailers ready to sell the unique turbine from a
starting price of $5,795, plus installation.
I say this is a starting price because it depends on the connector. The Honeywell Wind Turbine
can be connected to the grid (Power One Aurora Grid Tie Inverter
option), a building (SmartBox option), or a battery (Direct DC option).
The small wind
turbine has a diameter of six feet and weighs less than 185 pounds. Its
main feature is the gearless design, which is called the Blade Tip
Power System, that uses an outer ring of magnets and stators to capture
power at the blade tips where speed is greatest.
The turbine spins at 0.5 mph and generates energy at two mph of wind.
Honeywell Wind Turbine is rated at 1,500 watts in 31 mph winds,
according to WindTronics
materials. In terms of noise, an important factor tied to location,
the turbine has “negligible” vibration and makes about 35 db of noise at
10 feet.
The WT6500 Wind Turbine can be used in either the residential or
commercial context, subject to local zoning and permits if required. To
help people learn whether small wind like this makes sense, WindTronics
developed a tool to estimate local wind speeds, utility prices, and
rebate programs, which is available online at WindKnowledge.com.
After crunching the numbers, you may find the turbine retailing at
places like Ace Hardware, True Value, and Northern Tool and Equipment,
or you can search for one at WhereToBuyOne.com.

Bornay Two-Blade Small Wind Turbines
It’s been a while since I’ve seen anything new in the world of small wind, but I recently noticed that Bornay turbines
from Spain are now distributed in the United States. The company has
several models, including two-blade models rated at 600 watts, 1500
watts, and 3000 watts, and a three-blade model rated at 6000 watts. The
Bornay 1500, for example, is about a nine-foot turbine that weighs 90
pounds and cuts in at winds of six mph. The 1500-watt kit is sold for
$20,000 by Electrex Industrial Services.

Redneck's New Home
I think this is a very good example of a Container Home. Using the steel beams as your support structure is tremendously stronger than any wood frame. No worry about the weather or Termites. Maybe I am a redneck.
