Energy Ball v100: Wind Power for the Home or Business
The Energy Ball v100 (and its big brother, the Energy Ball v200)
deliver electricity to the home or business by capturing the power of the wind.
Engineered in the Netherlands, where wind has been harnassed for centuries,
these new wind turbines are smaller, sleeker, quieter and more efficient than traditional
blade windmills.
The EnergyBall v100 is a beautiful low-noise turbine,
with six curved rotor blades which are attached to the rotor hub
with both ends.
As it spins, it resembles a ball spinning along its horizontal axis,
allowing wind to blow through it, assisting the spinning motion
through the entire length of the device.
This long draw of wind enables it to produce more electricity
in lower wind conditions, without the noise associated with
large blade wind turbines.
Due to the unusual and exceptional aerodynamics characteristics of the Energy Ball,
it creates a wind flow pattern that converges first and is then accelerated through the rotor,
resembling the rapids in a river (the so-called Venturi effect).
This translates into a higher aerodynamic efficiency compared to conventional wind turbine designs.
The Energy Ball ® starts producing electric energy as from very low wind speeds
and has therefore a very low standstill time.
The unique design makes that an electricity producing Energy Ball ® is virtually transparent.

Get Up to
90% Rebates for Wind
While the government and utilities support solar energy,
even more dollars are being put towards wind.
On Long Island, for example, Federal & State tax credits, plus
utility rebates can add up to 90% of the cost of the system.
Picture getting a $20,000 high-end system for just $2,000 and the
opportunity speaks for itself!
Don't wait to inquire - these programs can be changed
by the government at any time, so make sure you lock in
the maximum rebates today.
