At first it seems like a decorative tulip sculpture — Then the blades start moving and the turbine harvests wind from all directions

A new type of turbine that at first seems like nothing more than a decorative sculpture has been shaking up the industry.

Wind power generation has come an exceedingly long way in a very short time indeed. The renewable energy sector overall has seen tremendous growth as families across this great nation aim to reduce their monthly electric bills by turning to the untapped and often overlooked energy from sustainable sources.

How does this new turbine harvest wind from all directions?

How wind power has evolved alongside us as a species

Now we know this might sound a bit strange, but are you aware of the link between the wind and solar power sectors?

The sun’s uneven heating of our atmosphere, combined with our planet’s irregular surfaces and rotation, creates the motion in the air we refer to as wind. The history of mankind using wind as a resource dates back to ancient Egypt.

In 5000 BC, the Egyptians used wind to sail boats up and down the Nile River.

The first documented use of windmills dates back to Persia, when people in the region used windmills to grind up grain and pump water. And as we have a long history of relying on wind power, a new turbine design has been making waves across the renewable energy sector.

When it comes to wind power, bigger is almost always better

Wind power is generated nowadays by the huge spinning turbines that have become a mainstay along the coastlines of several nations.

The higher we go, the stronger the airflow is. As such, engineers are constantly coming up with new turbine designs that reach for the heavens. And the blades are getting bigger too. Bigger blades mean more energy generated from the motion of the turbines spinning.

The solar power sector has seen several new designs emerging as technology advances, but fear not, the world has not forgotten about new wind turbine designs.

Wind power is perfect for the driest regions of the world. Wind energy uses virtually no water, unlike coal or nuclear. This makes it incredibly resilient, especially in drought-prone parts of the world.

New wind energy-generating systems have become a regular occurrence as our collective technological prowess improves.

But this new system can harness the power of the wind from any direction, and it even looks like a decorative sculpture that wouldn’t be out of place in anyone’s garden across this great nation of ours.

A revolution in wind turbine design has emerged from the sea of renewables

The LS Helix 3.0 is a remarkable wind turbine unlike any other. The system has been developed to harness the power of wind through several innovative design features.

It works as an advanced vertical wind turbine that features a Savonius-style design and uses a vibration decoupler to address structure-borne noise.

The new turbine design has been engineered to provide a complete, easy-to-install, and ready-to-use solution for those of us aiming to lean on the wind for our energy needs. Scientists have been working on several new wind power system designs for the past two decades, at least.

The LS Helix 3.0 conjures energy out of the air around us

The system uses an aerodynamic rotor with a special spiral shape. This allows the blades to spin and harness the wind energy from any direction, regardless of which way the wind is blowing at the moment.

The Helix system produces an output capacity of around 3 KW, but could reach as high as 5 KW under the right conditions.

A life disconnected from the national grid is possible, and the new Helix 3.0 design has made living off-grid that much easier and simpler.
