SkyWind NG rooftop wind turbine
by Canyon Owen: Science
SkyWind NG just released a rooftop wind turbine that measures 1.5 metres wide and tips the scale at under 20 kg. This German-made unit delivers up to 1,000 watts of peak power while generating around 615 kWh of energy each year. The entire build relies on aerospace-grade aluminum and steel for durability. Getting it set up is simple since every single unit ships with a grid inverter, dump load, storm control system, and mast fitting included. A video overlay identifies the project as SPACE AND TECHNOLOGY x SkyWind Energy GmbH.
