With wind turbines gaining far more attention as a contender to solar panels, there is one such wind turbine that is worth looking at and considering when thinking of what a sustainable future could be. The Quietrevolution Qr6 is one such Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) that places quiet operation, efficiency, and power generation at the forefront. From VWT Power Ltd, this Quietrevolution Qr6 is one wind turbine revolution that seeks to bring power potential into spaces where people live and work. Whilst being aesthetically pleasing and fitting effortlessly into spaces, the turbine goes beyond the normal wind turbine offering by operating without the common noise vibrations that usually gets heard from traditional wind turbines.
A VAWT meant to enhance performance
The Qr6 vertical axis design captures wind at all times and thus performance is enhanced as there is no down time. Where the Qr6 outperforms some traditional turbines is that is able to capture wind from all directions. Being helical in design and shape, wind loads get distributed evenly across the rotor which produces barely any vibrations and improves structural stability.
This VAWT can be mounted on rooftops or close to buildings due to the fact that barely any noise is produced resulting in another advantage over the more traditional turbines. The vertical axis turbine takes up less physical space than its horizontal counterpart making it the ideal solution for urban settings.
The softer workings of the turbine is another advantage
While this wind turbine does offer several advantages, the best part is that it works noiselessly. The Qr6 operates quietly and thus is a great sustainable solution for residential areas too. Design differences of this turbine include:
- Low blade tip closer to the axis that travels shorter distances.
- Blade shape that floats through the air without slicing through the air.
- Aero-elastic blade meant to absorb stronger vibrations.
The design features of the Qr6 allows it to perform in reliable ways even in lower wind speeds of 4,5–6,7 mph. Power can be generated even on those days when the wind seems to be at bay. The 15 meter hub height allows for an increase in wind speed which is yet another advantage of the Qr6. Further reason as to why the Qr6 is something impressive is because it is fully engineered to support the real-world needs of people. While requiring a three-phase grid connection, the VAWT works well for remote and autonomous applications. The Qr6, thus, is capable of generating energy for homes, small businesses, and for the community at large. After all, vertical axis wind turbines are the future.
A vertical turbine developing a quiet revolution
Retailing at $44,684, this VAWT is priced rather competitively for all that is on offer. The advantages offered by this turbine is hard to look away from and is a sure reason why this turbine will be loved by families and small business owners.
This surely is one VAWT that is paving the way forward for a quiet revolution promising that not all wind turbines need to be loud to be effective. While the noiseless operation of the turbine is noteworthy, it is the vertical design that makes the turbine all the more appealing for many businesses, homeowners, and buildings. This Qr6 VAWT can fit seemlessly into any space and tends to align perfectly with the wind regardless of which direction the turbine gets installed in.
Although the Qr6 was developed in the United Kingdom, the quiet revolution is here and ready to hit America perhaps putting an end to solar domination in all urban environments. A sustainable future is not too far out of reach. With newer innovations, like the Quietrevolution Qr6, generating energy sustainably can be a breeze-literally!
