The 'Newton' turbine system. The turbine
sits in the middle of the RaceCom designed wind directors.
Newspapers and TV stations are covering our turbines now.
We install our wind turbines worldwide. |

True Wind Turbine spinning in 1.2 MPH Wind.
Utterly silent and supremely efficient, RaceCom Wind Turbines come in
all sizes to achieve successful conversion of wind power to electricity. Currently being installed in: RaceCom Turbine Installation at RAMADA INN in Mobile has just been certified by the U.S. Energy Regulatory Commission.
In business continuously for over 20 years.

The case for RaceCom Wind Turbines:
According to http://www.energyefficienthomearticles.com,
completely powering the average home with solar panels would cost $64,000 for a
2.5 kw system. For a house with $150/m electric bill, the payback is 36 years
to say nothing of the future value of the $64,000. Because solar only
works at most 8 hours per day, you have to have batteries, etc for full power.
According to experts, the roof effect doubles the power of a turbine. If that is
true, a single turbine with no wind directors will produce 250 watts at 12 mph
or 180 kwh/month. The cost of a turbine will be about $500. A comparably priced
solar panel produces 21 kwh/month. We're 9 times as cost effective. Our
payback is 3-4 years.
But, there's more:
A solar panel can never produce more power than its rating.
Double the wind speed and we can produce 8 times the power. In other words, we take advantage of changing wind conditions.
We can add inexpensive wind directors and multiply our power. You can't do anything to increase the power of a solar panel.
Clouds increase our power because uneven heating causes higher winds. Solar panels lose power with clouds.
We have less need for batteries because we run 24/7.
Installation is more complex with solar.
Latitude has a profound effect on solar panels. Latitude has no effect on us.
Higher buildings are better for wind turbines. Building height has no effect on solar.
City buildings often can't use solar because they are blocked by other buildings. Other buildings cause high wind conditions, which benefits turbines.
The change of seasons actually benefits turbines because the wind increases with changing seasons. Solar is less effective in winter throughout the world.
A solar array on a residential roof would take up 350 sq feet to produce 3.6 kw. The same area in turbines would produce 43.750 kw.
RaceCom turbines operate at TSR of 1 meaning they are
silent. They have one moving part -- a 115,000 hour bearing, which
will last for 13 years ... comparable to a solar panel.
We demo-ed our turbines in Mobile, AL on 4/16/07. Because people could see the turbines in action, we're signing up businesses fast. This will be enormous.
If you are a large user of electricity and have a
building with a large flat roof,
we can install a wind turbine at absolutely no
charge.
