In Sevastopol, we developed a wind turbine wheel

The first prototype has already been installed at the solar power plant on the northern side, he soon begins to produce energy. The developers claim that a compact device can be placed in the country, and even on the balcony.

Sevastopol inventors own hands have made wind turbine, which can be an alternative to diesel and petrol installations, as well as the massive blade "windmills". At the core structures - wind wheel diameter of half a meter, which starts spinning, even with the breeze and does not produce noise during rotation. It will withstand any wind force - even a hurricane. Specially adapted to the wind wheel generator design is patented. Field testing of the device will be held on solar power.

"Wind turbine dimensions allow to install it between the rows of solar panels to produce energy and he can around the clock at a wind speed of more than two meters per second," - told the "RG" co-author "Tailwind" Boris Okhrimenko. "And unlike traditional models can be installed at ground level, so that it does not cast a shadow on the solar panels.»



"In China, we were offered a similar two- and three-bladed wind turbines, which need to raise to 30-60 meters above the ground," - continues the director of "S. Energy-Sevastopol »Vladimir Gubanov. "But in the city can not put them out of the hum, and other factors, and Sevastopol wind wheel operates silently.»

At a wind speed of seven meters per second Sevastopol "windmill" is capable of producing about three kilowatts per hour, and the battery accumulates per day about 50 kilowatts. According to the inventors, it will provide electricity four apartments. Wind wheel can be used in private homes, weekend homes, on farms, on-site away from power lines. The plans -. To produce a more compact model for the balcony

The development of Russian components used, wind wheel itself is made of lightweight fiberglass. After testing generators plan to mass-produce. The cost of the device will be about 100 thousand rubles, and the battery is "pull" even 150-200 thousand. Its creators say it will pay off quickly - for the year

. "It is beneficial wherever a network connection is more expensive 300 thousand, - says Okhrimenko. - For example, in the summer community de-energized. For comparison, household gasoline generator costs about 50 thousand rubles, but it is necessary to constantly refuel, and in two or three months, he eats gasoline for the same amount. »

If the two-month trial will be successful, it is planned to purchase solar power plant a few dozen "wind turbine».

"The generator is able to work all day and night in the presence of the wind", - he told the "RG" director of "S. Energy-Sevastopol »Vladimir Gubanov. "And, if the project will implement," windmills "will give the same amount of energy as solar panels.»

In addition, the air flow is formed which can be directed to electricity generation between the rows of solar panels. A wind turbine established in Sevastopol - is only suitable for this purpose

. "At the first stage it is planned in each of the 20 passes to put two of these screws, you can further increase their number to 200," - said Gubanov. "Generators are particularly effective in the fall and winter, when there is little sun and strong winds in the Crimea. But in order to put the model in the series, it is necessary to reduce the cost. »

When the selling price of electricity for about four rubles per kilowatt solar plant will pay for itself only over 20 years. Perhaps the wind turbine will reduce this period. Therefore, the test will continue. SES is cooperating with the Sevastopol State University, scientists of the Department of renewable energy, led by Professor Vladimir Safonov recently developed a system for switching panels, which increases its efficiency.

"Clean energy is needed the Crimea, because people come here for the sake of nature, climate," - said Vladimir Gubanov. "It will be in demand even when completed construction of two new thermal power plants. In Crimea, a lot of slopes, rocky areas that are not suitable for industry, agriculture, housing construction, but they can be placed solar and wind power. "
