In a world that is struggling to meet the ever-increasing energy demands of the public, a spherical wind turbine could offer the everyday person a solution that requires little effort while delivering safe and, more crucially, stable and consistent power to use. Now, a new development called the Energy Ball might offer homes across the world an option to consider as the world’s resources dwindle. Being able to produce energy that can power one’s home in the comfort and safety of one’s backyard sounds almost too good to be true, but it is.
Advancements in wind power technology have produced several innovations
Gone are the days when the only way of harnessing the potential power of wind was the large and cumbersome wind turbines that we all have come to know all too well. Nowadays, the options for smaller wind turbines are plentiful. The average homeowner is spoilt for choice when looking for a reliable wind power turbine to purchase.
And this new turbine has the potential to completely revolutionize the sector. The Energy Ball is a spherical wind turbine that is relatively small and delivers some serious bang for your buck. The Energy Ball is a representation of the world’s embrace of renewable power sources that can replace the need to get power from the grid, which is still powered by the harmful fossil fuels, for the most part, at least.
What makes this new Energy Ball so special and different from its competitors
The Energy Ball is round in shape, and that is where the key difference lies. The spherical design allows for increased power generation as well as several other benefits. A major complaint about wind turbines is the sound or noise pollution, if you want to be technical. The round design means that the Energy Ball does not have sharp edges cutting through the air, which is what causes the noise that most people complain about.
Another added benefit of the spherical design is that it is highly efficient in capturing energy, unlike the fan-like objects that dot the landscapes and seas of several countries around the world. One last aspect that adds to the Energy Ball’s appeal is the aesthetics. Because of the design, it has become a favorite for architects and home designers, enabling large-scale sales of the product to the general public.
The Energy Ball can be installed in your backyard on a long pole that points to the sky, where all the wind forces are higher than on ground level. When operating at full speed, the Energy Ball produces 2250 W, which can be fed to the grid through a WindPower Inverter. That means that not only can you operate off-grid, but you can also contribute to the grid’s power. Prices depend on which model of the Energy Ball you are looking to buy.
Can the Energy Ball be scaled up to replace propeller wind turbines
That would be the ultimate goal for the people who designed and manufactured this remarkable wind turbine. For far too long, the public has been divided as to the effectiveness of wind turbines. The President of the United States has stated that he believes wind turbines are killing animals, but there is no evidence to prove his claims. And he is not alone in that stance. Many countries and people see the large, cumbersome wind turbines as an eyesore, and some have even reported losses in real estate value as a result of wind turbines being built and implemented in the area. One thing that is for certain is that the Energy Ball is a step in the right direction for the energy sector.
