American Wind, Inc., a woman-owned small business, has developed the most state-of-the-art micro ducted wind turbine (MDWT) ever brought to market. The technology behind the micro wind turbine is a complete thought change in the wind turbine industry. Instead of bigger turbines farther away from the point of use, power generation can now be used at the point of use. To develop a product that would bring the generation to the point of use, a complete thought-process change had to occur: a generator had to be developed that was not only small but tremendously more powerful. American Wind invented a 1kilowatt generator that has been squeezed into a generator just 3 inches in diameter. The next need was to develop a blade design, not using a simple airfoil much like the wing of an aircraft, but to design the blade to create maximum torque and speed. To do this, founder Robert Yost, using his background in designing jet engine turbines, developed a blade design that used both airfoil technology and jet turbine technology. This combination allowed our turbine to start generating at a wind speed much lower than any other turbine on the market, which means the turbine is creating power through a larger range of wind speeds.
