Wind energy: Solution to Relentless Power Shortage in RP
In the countrysides of the Philippines where there is a relentless power shortage, a couple has found a solution to this problem to power up lighting and household appliances. Professional Electrical Engineer Leonardo L. Gutierrez and his Chemist wife Ofelia invented a new breed of Windmills in which it use the power of wind energy and its a renewable kind of energy.
The couple experimented on different kinds of propotypes of windmills found a very unqiue, sturdy and more efficient Vertical Windmill. The couple named this windmill the “LOGUTZ VERTICAL WINDMILL”. This windmill powers the lighting requirement of a residential compound of the Gutierrez family home that also includes a chapel.
The LOGUTZ VERTICAL WINDMILL is designed with wind blades rotating with a vertical shaft. The vertical shaft is extended down to the electric generator on the ground for easy access. The design allows for upgrading of capacity by installing more than one set of vertical wind blades on top of the other within the envelope of the Steel or Concrete Tower thereby multiplying the capacity by the number of sets of wind blades. This windmill is also designed to windstand the strong winds of a typhoon.
What makes the LOGUTZ VERTICAL WINDMILL so unique in other vertical windmills in the world is that it ha a feature that enhance the torque generated by its vertical wind blades. In this kind of feature, it makes the LOGUTZ VERTICAL WINDMILL very efficient thatn any other vertical windmills.
The LOGUTZ VERTICAL WINDMILL is perfect for users in areas with is unimpeded swift wind flows because in order to light up one or two houses, the windmill need at least four hours of swift flowing wind to generate power. But the windmill does also not need a continuous swift wind flow, even only 10 minutes intermittent wind flows with at least a total of four hours will generate enough electricity for lighting purposes for household lighting. The LOGUTZ VERTICAL WINDMILL can supply homeowners who needs electricityand small appliances with a maximum demand of 4000 Watts at 120Volts or 220Volts.
