What is a WindHOG^(tm)?

We have known about the potential of wind power for years, but previous attempts at harnessing that energy efficiently and then transferring it into a reliable alternative energy source have proved inefficient. Most windmills are inadequate and require enormous amounts of maintenance. 

Our patented design for the Wind High Output Generator (WindHOG^(tm)) is a major advancement over its predecessors. It is 61 feet in diameter, weighs about 30,000 pounds and is approximately 32 feet high. Height measurements are approximate because each one may be custom built to meet various conditions.

This machine is very slow turning. There are no mechanical or computer controls needed to limit speed.

WindHOG^(tm) machines can be fitted with generators or combinations of generators including AC, DC, 110, 220, 440, 3 phase, single phase, self exciting, induction and more. Generators may be dedicated as follows:

• Net Meter—run your utility meter backwards. Multiple net metering for one location or for multiple locations can be done with this machine.
• Store energy to a battery bank
• Use energy for heating water, baseboard heaters, etc.
• Sell energy back to the utility companies
• Sell energy to others

Generators can be serviced while the machine is turning and producing power. Routine generator service is performed approximately 10 feet from the ground.

Compare & Contrast

The WindHOG^(tm) can solve problems that continue to plague current prop windmill models. The WindHOG^(tm) is a slow-turning, high output windmill. It is designed to produce useable electricity in slow winds.

The new WindHOG^(tm) has other mechanical and electrical improvements over existing wind technology in construction, applications, and performance, including:

•  No aircraft-style blades
•  No yaw dampening
•  No computer controls, or sensitive electronics
•  No pitch control or control box
•  No bird strike problems
•  No tip brakes
•  No furling for excessive or gusty winds
•  No weather vane or tail vane
•  No danger from thrown ice
•  No expensive, routine blade balancing
•  No dangerous high rpm's
•  No Eigen Frequency (low frequency vibrations)
•  No change to DC or low voltage appliances
•  No zoning problems (35 feet is a typical height restriction)
