Sculpture or Power Solution? QR5 Wind Generator
The quietrevolution (QR) responds to the increasing demand for wind turbines in urban settings, where wind speeds are lower and wind directions change frequently.
The elegant helical (twisted) design of QR ensures a robust performance even in turbulent winds. It is also responsible for virtually eliminating all noise and vibration.
At five metres high and three metres in diameter, it is compact and easy to integrate, and with just one moving part, maintenance can be limited to an annual inspection.
This wind turbine that generates enough electricity to power a standard U.S. home or a small office. Unlike the shape of a conventional windmill propeller, it’s a Vertical-axis wind turbine. Whew. Those spinning propellors were forever taking out pets, children and BBQ guests.
It runs at almost $50k: twice the price of traditional generators.
