Encore’s proof-of-concept SideWinder wind-turbine demo unit develops tremendous torque at its central shaft even in low speed winds.
The SideWinder is radically-different than any other wind turbine technology being offered today and targets the most lucrative and currently untapped market for wind power: the low wind-speed ROOFTOP WIND market — harnessing clean wind energy on top of mini-malls and buildings around the world.
As of yet, we don’t have every aspect of the system optimized (we still need to engineer a soft-landing pneumatic or hydraulic shock-absorber system for the wind-shutters/louvers when they open).
The shutters/louvers are made out of high-strength low-weight carbon composites and right now, because of the varying wind speeds and wind gusts that will change the RPM of the power take-off shaft — we plan to connect the SideWinder’s central rotating mast with gears to a DC generator whose DC output is then sent through a high-power DC-AC inverter to give the end-user the AC power it needs.

Wind Turbine Vertical at the SBE, Nottingham. there are trees nearby and a taller building adjacent. The horizontal anenometer is swivelling around like mad. Even the horizontal turbine on the tower nearby is unable to hold a good angle.
