Mag-Wind

Enviro Energies is an environmentally-conscious business attempting to offer our consumers a Greener lifestyle, at no risk to their wallets. While offering environmentally-friendly products to our customers, we are also keenly aware of the prices we attach to these products.

We are striving to meet the clean energy needs of our clients, and of people and businesses around the globe. At the same time, we are committed to offering the most affordable solutions, along with the most reasonable solutions to our customers.

It is with this sharp understanding of our clientele that we have developed Mag-Wind, a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (or VAWT) that fits all of the specified needs of our customers. Affordable but beneficial, this modern windmill is capable of producing 5 kilowatts of power or more at modest wind speeds.

These turbines can be placed on top of the average house. In fact, the shape, slope, and size of your roof can actually increase the energy production of the turbines. Aside from the available wind, the two major variables that determine how much energy can be generated are the vertical rise of the roof and the pitch, or angle, of the roof. The more rise there is, the more wind will hit it and be guided upward towards the VAWT, the more energy will be generated.

However, the steeper the roof is, the more wind energy will be wasted in pressure against the roof and wind moving around the roof, the less energy will be generated. Nonetheless, a 10% vertical rise in the roof and 30% angle will provide a nearly 200% increase in energy production.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I would like to discuss the future of Mag-Wind with technology owners. Thank you for your help.
