Startup creates wind turbine for homes at smartphone price

Indian startup created by two brothers develops a wind turbine that could cost the price of a smartphone

Through the startup, Avant Garde Innovations, they have developed a residential wind turbine that they expect to sell for around 50 rupees, about R$2.300,00, which is equivalent to an average smartphone today.

Arun and Anoop George, leaders of Startup, designed the home wind turbine with the size of the blades of a ceiling fan and which in the end would cost less than the cost of a smartphone. According to the Indian newspaper The Times, the turbine can generate 1 to 3 kilowatt hours of electricity daily, enough to power a home.

Advantages and cautions according to the Indian Startup

The wind energy turbine pilot project that costs the price of a smartphone was launched by the startup in January this year in a church. The equipment weighs 72kg and was designed to work in different climatic conditions and, according to the manufacturers, can generate energy 365 days a year.

The positioning of the wind energy turbine that can cost the value of a Smartphone adapts to the direction of the air current, the noise generated is about 10% of the noise produced by the wind itself and the energy produced from the wind is renewable – an alternative to other energy sources, such as that produced from fossil fuels.

Startup, however, warns on its website that to assess the viability of wind energy generation, it is necessary to take into account several factors ranging from air density and wind strength, to temperature and soil conditions. The value of 5kWh per day assumes a wind speed of 5,5 m/s.
