With wind turbines starting to dominate conversations, it is hard to think of the end of wind turbines, or rather, the end of traditional turbines as we know them. However, vertical wind turbines, like the Hercules, have stepped in and have reimagined what home energy solutions can be. Gone are the days when we look to rooftop solar panels and wind turbines only. We can now harness energy from our oackyards. Thanks to the new Hercules turbine that delivers 5,550 kWh annually, most of the household’s power needs can be covered.
More about this vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT)
This vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) was created by the Italian company ENESSERE. The Hercules Wind Generator offers a new wind energy solution that captures wind from all directions. Being an ideal solution for urban environments and standing 7 meters tall, this VAWT is one of the first wooden wind turbines out there.
The Hercules turbine was created using an amalgamation of cedar wood, titanium, carbon fiber, and stainless steel to ensure it delivers in terms of performance and beauty. Being vertical, it rotates and can thus harness an average of more than 5,000 kWh per year. The power generated by this VAWT can compete with the power generated by other traditional wind turbines.
A game-changing turbine breaking away from conventional wind turbines
The Hercules is a quiet, clean, and beautiful wind turbine that is rather different from conventional turbines. Being a sculptural masterpiece, the turbine can fit into any setting. The best part is that it looks so attractive, as much effort and consideration went into the design of this turbine.
The vertical turbine works quietly and is a low-maintenance solution, particularly in the residential setting. Generating clean power has never been easier with ENESSERE, which provides variants of the turbine as well. The Hercules Tech is made of a stainless steel tower to ensure longer-term durability, especially in harsher weather conditions. A variety of turbine choices, including the PegasusWind Turbines, enable you to choose the color of your sails, making this turbine not only practical but aesthetically beautiful.
Stepping in where solar and traditional wind turbines fall short
Since solar panels have always led the move towards cleaner energy, it is interesting to look at alternatives that have come in to go beyond solar’s offering. Aspects like a poor roof orientation and a limited surface area can lead to reduced solar performance. The Hercules offers an alternate energy solution in regions where sun exposure is rare and where wind is inconsistent. According to the spokesperson for the company, ENESSERE, the Hercules was created to stand out and not blend in like the other energy solution offerings.
While we cannot expect the Hercules to replace all wind turbines, we can expect it to reimagine what the future of clean energy can look like. The Hercules is not only here to generate power but to start the conversation on turbines created to beat photovoltaics.
A sustainable solar future that seeks to go beyond generating clean energy
The Hercules was created to be far more than just a solution to generate cleaner energy. The Hercules was created to ensure efficiency metrics are met at a time when this matters the most in the clean energy game. Hercules goes beyond the traditional wind turbine, promising beauty and functionality.
Priced at approximately €96,000 including VAT for the Natural Hercules Wind Turbine, the Hercules may be quite pricey for many homeowners. The hope is that as the production costs decline, and more people start to understand what the investment in the Hercules could mean, the more this VAWT can reshape communities at large. This golden wind turbine has come in to end solar power’s domination.
