Are you looking into setting up a small wind turbine at home or at work, but you don’t want to break the bank? Southwest Wind’s Air-X Land Wind Turbine could be the solution. At under $700, the Air-X delivers up to 400w of peak power making it ideal to run basic appliances such as radios, TV’s, and lights.
With its patented “smart controller”, which allows it to control the blade rotation, the Air-X is built to withstand wind conditions up to 100mph. So in high wind speeds, it will continue to produce power at a safe reduced level until the wind decreases, at which point maximum potential output will resume.
The Air-X also stands above the competition in battery charging technology. The Air-X’s charge controller monitors the battery voltage, and shuts off all current to the battery once it is fully charged. This means any size battery bank from 25 to 25,000 amp hours or higher can be charged safely. When the battery has reached its charged state, the Air-X will slow to an almost complete stop. Only when the battery has dropped below its voltage set point will it startup and resume charging.

But, how can I help?

With energy costs on a constant rise and income seemingly on a downward spiral, solutions must be found to reduce our energy bills. Reliance on oil, coal and other sources causing enormous greenhouse gas emissions are poisoning our air and warming our planet. Solutions must be found that not just reduce our utility bills but reduce our carbon footprint as well.

As an individual I found myself thinking the same thing over and coming up against a wall of ‘buts’. ‘But I can’t afford it’, ‘but I don’t have the land for a windmill’, ‘but easement trees block the one side that solar would work on’. Hundreds of thousands of people will say ‘But I rent’.

I’ve found that even though you rent, don’t have the land for a windmill or, in my case, easement trees block the solar receiving side of my house, there are solutions, information and answers.

I can still buy LED light bulbs to replace my incandescent and CFL lights. My home has 48 light bulbs, I counted after learning that the average household has between 50 and 100. I can still replace a bulb or two each month with LED bulbs. It may take time and money but in the end over a ten year period I stand to reduce my bills by $6,538.08, that’s nearly $55.00 per month using http://www.neutralexistence.com/shop/7w-earthled-zetalux-led-replacement-bulb/ these bulbs.

I can and will buy solar powered, motion detection flood lights for the outside of my home. I have three of them for security and illumination. I also have a pole light out front which will be replaced with solar as well.

I can and did buy a Worx Two in One trimmer/edger, it runs with a rechargeable battery. A later blog will be about buying and using the Worx.

I can and will buy small wind turbines like the ones found here on my site: http://ecoearthmall.com/aff.php?a=dw They are small and can be mounted any where. They are also made of recycled plastic, are portable and can be moved with you from home to home.

I can and do recycle metal, plastic, paper and glass. I use cloth shopping bags and when I forget, I always reuse the plastic bags I get from the store. So yes, you can help in more ways than one. Follow the steps I am and we’ll both save a lot of money in the long run.

You know, I think I’ll look into a solar water heater next.
