The Honeywell Wind Turbine is a gearless turbine that generates power from the blade tips rather than through a center shaft. By claiming to practically eliminate mechanical resistance and drag, the Honeywell Wind Turbine creates power (2000 kWh/yr) and operates in a greater range of wind speeds (2-45 mph) than traditional wind turbines.
The Honeywell Wind Turbine comes with a smart box, inverter and inter connect switch to wire the system into a household panel. It is designed to be installed where the power is being consumed and can produce 2000 kWh/yr. The system has a MSRP of $4,500.
Critics of the turbine suggest that it doesn’t produce nearly enough power to make a difference in the household of the average North American family.

Dear manager:
How do you do.
I am Nina from Baotou Changan Magnetoelectric Machine Co., Ltd. and we want to establish business relationship with you.
We manufacture permanent magnet DC wind generators and our company located in Baotou —the rear earth central of the world so we have the confidence to offer you high quality and much more competitive price.
Our company is specializing in research and development of rare earth magnetoelectric machine dated back to 1964.
Slot less wiring is our core technique which has a safety leading in the whole world.
And the professors of Massachusetts Institute of Technology had visited our factory.

Wind Generator:
Application and Characteristic:
TYFD _magnetoelectric synchronous wind generator is a special high efficiency generator which is applied in wind power generation field. We research the new series of wind generators based on the product technology which won the Secondary Award for China National Science and Technology Progress. And the character of the generator adapted greatly with the requirements of the wind power—–broad high efficiency, high energy transformation efficiency with low and medium wind speed, which is more beneficial for energy transformation. And the generator keeps high efficiency output from starting generating to the 85% rated load range. The efficiency is higher than rated efficiency by 5-13%.And the core technology of the generator includes: 1.the rare earth magnetoelectric wind generator realized constant voltage output with various speed and load; 2. The generator increases the average efficiency and the electricity capacity per year by working in high efficiency area in low and medium speed; 3.defferent from traditional magnetoelectric wind generator, it has a lighter weight and smaller volume by selecting prefect magnet work point and electric and magnet loading allocation.
So if we have chance to establish business relationship, we are glad and able to offer you the high tech products and very competitive price for you. Thank you and wait for your early reply.
Yours
Nina

The turbine claims to extract more power from the wind than there is in a given wind speed.
No independent testing has been reported to date so outlandish claims can be made - in the near future the truth will become apparent. Production will be more in the 200 kWh/yr range than what they claim for 99% of US locations.
There is also another 1,500 to 2,000 USD installation fee associated with the thing.

If their claims are true than this could be a big step forward. I was particularly interested to see that it can work at windspeeds as low as 2 mph.

Industry expert Paul Gipe has already reviewed this product and, as you can imagine, says its full of BS:
“There is no substantiation to back up the promoter’s claims and the claims themselves are exaggerated.”
Also of note:
“There are no units in use. One turbine has been “tested” in a wind tunnel. Thus, all claims about the product are projecture.
Those who have followed the debate about performance measurements of small turbines realize that testing in a wind tunnel is not testing at all. Wind tunnel “tests” are useful only for design not for estimating the performance of the wind turbine in the field.
Though no turbines have been tested in the field, Earthronics has hired a public relations company.”
Something tells me the positive comments on the internet about this product are nothing more than a hired PR firm doing its job..the product and company are clearly shady.
