Can out last any Typhoon or Hurricane. Tilts up and
We call it the "Typhoon"
since it is built to survive Typhoon winds.Typhoon up-tilting turbines give maximum performance at all times and never
stop making power even in the most stormy weather.
Transitions from over speeding tilting protection and full power production
are not interrupted by reset periods or the turbine listing off to one side or the other and not facing directly into the wind making full power.
Also tails that yaw to the left or right tend to make wires twist inside since they favor to continue making left or right spinning loops. This makes the use of an expensive and often undependable slip ring necessary. Turbines that "Up-Tilt" do not favor spinning to the left or right so twisting wires are not a concern in most areas with this type of turbine yaw mechanism.
The unibody concept of the Typhoon wind turbine is unique. Other up tilting turbine designs had a PMA that up tilted but this caused the need for rubber bumpers as the PMA would come down rather hard and abruptly. The unibody design of the Typhoon is nicely counter balanced by the tail and whole body of the turbine allowing it to more gently pivot up and down as shown on the videos below. The PMA is mounted in a tight box frame protecting it from flying debris or even a tower fall. This is a superior way to mount a PMA from the front and not the rear.
While
other turbines are snapping blades during storms the Typhoon
will simply lift up and reduce 50% of its surface area allowing
the wind to spill off the top of the turbine. This wedge
like shape also pushes the turbine downward holding the top plate
tightly to the pole which prevents it from swinging around wildly
in stormy winds.The Typhoon unibody up tilting wind turbine design has a U.S. patent pending number issued and we think it will be one of the most sought after turbines for years to come.
