The Tyer Wind converter is inspired by one of the most energetically-efficient flyers, the humming bird. It has blades that flap around in a figure 8 like motion. This enables it to efficiently convert the linear motion into rotational motion. You can expect it to produce up to 1kW of power. It is the perfect solution for most residential areas.
This innovative design also allows for a higher density of these turbines to be installed on wind farms. This is why the manufacturer, Tyer Wind currently has plans of building bigger turbines that follow the same design. As exciting as this may sound, this wind turbine is still in the testing phase.
