Wind turbine on roof ridge.
The ridgeblade adopts an entirely new design philosophy and addresses many of the drawbacks associated with solar pv and traditional wind turbines.
Most people would just give up and look elsewhere for their renewable energy but not win keech.
A roof turbine is a relatively small vent that utilizes the wind to remove humid air from an attic.
Win lives in.
The ridge must be installed along the entire roof to prove effective and not all rooftops have enough ridges for this method to work.
This is where the wind is forced to travel over the roof surface and forms a pinch point at the roof ridge accelerating the airflow through the turbine.
Using the existing surface area of a pitched roof the ridgeblade collects and focuses the prevailing wind harnessing the aeolian wind focus effect.
A ridge vent runs across the top of the roof s peak.

A turbine has a series of vanes that spin as wind passes through them.
This is because they require space as they need to be installed along the ridges of the roof.
As the wind passes through the turbine vent a series of vanes within the turbine spin cycling humid air out of the attic.
How a new class of wind turbine was developed.
Assume the house to be fitted with three turbine vents on the roof and 30 soffit vents 4 centers both eaves.
What do you do when you want a wind turbine but it is not possible because of local planning regulations.
The attic volume is about 4700 cubic feet.
Find roof turbine vents at lowe s today.
Roof turbines are typically 12 or 14 inches square so they take up minimal space on your roof.
Ridge vents and turbines a turbine is installed directly on the top of a roof and uses wind power to suck hot and humid air out of the attic.
The ridgeblade wind turbine is an innovative simple and effective way of harnessing wind power to produce electricity.

For especially steep hip roofs even full ridge vents may not provide enough airflow.
When it comes to ridge ventilation you need to plan before the actual installation of the roof.
Turbine vents do indeed look like small wind turbines installed on your roof.
