Could You Set Up Home Wind Kits On The Chimney? by Roger Brown
If you are looking into home wind kits you need to seriously consider the option of mounting the turbine on your chimney.
Actually, the top 2 locations for installing home wind kits are:
1. On a tower mounted 30 feet above the tree line
2. On the roof
The tower is by far the strongest place to achieve the best results. Most of the very good wind is up high, way above the height of obstacles like trees and buildings. But, it is expensive to buy a tower and may not be feasible for you.
However, you can’t always install a wind turbine exactly where you want to. A variety of factors can foil your plans – space limitations, local ordinance, and cost can all intervene to keep you from putting up the kind of turbine you want where you want it.
That is no problem though if you have access to your roof and have permission to mount a turbine there.
The roof can be a terrific place to harvest wind energy. Why is that? Well, “Roof Effect” multiplies the speed of the wind as it first impacts its surface.
It so happens the roof has 2 super-effective places to install a wind turbine – at the apex of the ridge line, where Roof Effect maximizes wind flow and on the chimney.
The really neat thing about installing on your chimney though, is how there is a family of turbines now that are being made to blend in with the roof aesthetics and are a lot less noticeable to passersby.
For example, there is a company in the U.K. called SET or, “Secret Energy Turbine”. The SET has been aptly named because it sits on top of the chimney very unobtrusively and does its job. It blends in with the chimney and doesn’t stand out as a separate appliance like most other roof-mounted windmills do.
The SET is typically painted with the same colors as the chimney itself, enhancing the camouflage.
Naturally, these are vertical-axis turbines and are designed to run nearly silently. This is the power of this concept is how it does an end-around on complaints from neighbors and local zoning ordinances.
The more aesthetically pleasing and blended in with their environment renewable energy generators can be made, the more likely they will be to gain footing and become part of mainstream energy production.
In summary, taking advantage of all available roof space with good looking home wind kits that don’t offend the neighbors is the secret to making power at home.
