The double effect of using wind power is realized in the turbine
-- the best source of green energy
VIENNA, April 16,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SoWa Lab has launched an Indiegogo campaign for
its Tornado Wind Turbine that features the first use of a portable
Savonius turbine to generate energy for outdoor enthusiasts who
need to recharge devices.
Tornado Turbine is a Savonius turbine with a dome, and the
world's first portable turbine that uses wind power twice. The
horizontal airflow turns the turbine blades and is redirected by
the dome, while the downward airflow pushes the blades further.
This functionality increases productivity.
The vertical rotating blades allow the turbine to produce energy
in any wind direction and at a wind speed even 5 km/h (3 mph), with
the maximum possible wind speed of 70 km/h (43 mph).
A wide range of wind speeds allows the Tornado Turbine to
generate energy under any weather conditions. Given the IP65
weather resistance, the turbine operation is limited only by heavy
rain.
"We are asked what to do if there is no wind?" said Thomas Meunier, Director of Product Engineering.
"We answer that Tornado Turbine can produce power if you spin it
using the included Hand Crank. Two minutes of Hand Crank rotating
is enough to charge the phone and make a few important calls."
The generated energy is stored in the built-in 12,000mAh Li-ion
battery, allowing Tornado Turbine to be used as a power bank. The
battery can be charged in three ways: wind power, hand crank
rotation, or a home power supply. Michael
Mays, director of production, emphasized that when ordering
a Tornado Turbine, customers can choose various plug charger
standards included in the package: European, American, British, or
Australian.
Tornado Turbines are irreplaceable for long journeys, trips, and
off-grid living, and can be used in emergencies. The large capacity
of the built-in battery and three USB charging ports allow users to
charge several devices simultaneously.
Tornado Turbine is one of the quietest on the market, with no
more than 10 dB, making it undetectable when sitting near it. Its
light weight of 712 g (1.57 lbs) and collapsible design make it
easy to transport and store. The device can also be used inside by
installing it in a corner.
The turbine is installed easily and simply within a few minutes.
It also requires no maintenance to generate energy from wind. The
operating temperature of the turbine, -10-40°C / 14-104°F, allows
it to be used almost all year round.
An important feature of Tornado Turbine is its ability to be
attached to a stationary object—a building, balcony, pipe, tree
branch, fence, etc. Users can additionally order special mounting
systems on the company's Indiegogo page.
The turbine is on sale at an early bird price of 99 euros, 47 percent lower than the retail price.
Tornado Turbine is ready for production, with deliveries scheduled
for July 2024.
