Probably more expensive than they are worth. Most of these European "green environmental " companies get huge subsidies. I have seen the prices of similar wind turbine contraptions and they are laughably expensive. Everyone jumping on the green money bandwagon. Regards from South 2
It was apparently 3kW at 35mph (52ft/s) - that’s still unlikely considering average wind speeds are more like 10mph inland. If you plug the numbers for the swept area into a calculator then the wind power at 52ft/s is 22kW so it’s 15% efficient at best - at 10mph it might make about 500W - and it’s 4.2m high by 2.2m diameter 😮😂
Do you do any research or calculations on your videos? The turbine will give you around 900 kWh at 5,6m/s wind annually. Not 4400kWh. Where did you get this number from and why do you just tell it in your video as if it's a fact?
Thank you for your comment. To answer your question, I do my research for the videos. While there isn’t perfection anywhere but I do thorough research for the video. Please note the company currently have 3 products as at the time of producing the video. 1.0kw, 1.5kw and 3.0 kw. The kWh in the video was based on the 3.0kw product. And it’s important to note that there are many factors that can affect energy generation when it comes to wind turbines. I am sure you are aware of this judging from your comment. You might want to check the company website to have some ideas of how the figure was calculated. Although this page below focuses on more on the 1.5kw but it can still gives some ideas.

@@renewedenergy Hi, I appreciate your thoughtful reply! I did use the numbers for the 3kW product. I can send you the calculations it's very simple. I used their own numbers that they use. For example with the 1kW one they use a 15m/s wind as benchmark for the 3kW they sneakily use 16m/s, which equates to 0,53kW more output. So the 3kW one is actually a 2,53kW machine. I have no problem with people making exciting products for renewable energy, but: There needs to be some realism in these things. The aesthetics and not falling apart and turning in low winds really means little, mostly people care about performance and price. And so I don't like this being brought to the background and it turns into a kind of pretending. Because using 15m/s and 16m/s as benchmarks for a turbine is close to disingenuous, because most small scale turbines are rated around 11m/s or 12m/s which is half! the energy in the wind. So these turbines should be called 0,5kW and 1,25kW actually and this bothers me. People might buy these things expecting some output and get disappointed which happens a lot. Greetings!
@@renewedenergy this is hilarious actually. They have a clear wrong calculation right there (if I'm not delusional) but they write a 1,5kW turbine at 15m/s produces 1,5kWh per hour. Then at 10m/s the same turbine produces 1kWh - they write. They don't even use v square, not mentioning v cube, which is the correct formula. At 10m/s it would produce 0,44kWh.
A german company and you use feet/second.. obfuscation
For the rest of us, 9.8 ft/s = 6.7 mph = 3 m/s.
And the cost are !

So 65 feet per second is 44 MPH of winds. Yeah that will NOT happen everyday to get 3000 watts of power. Nope. Crazy. 😅

perfect for power to hydrogen
