  • Well according to companies house this outfit in Yorkshire have been trying to sell the ridge turbine  idea over here since 2009.

    Its not a big company.. Seems to have no HQ or factory, and accounts so small they qualify for exemption.  No website, datasheets or online sales at all as far as I can see, just pics of a few demos sites and a patent.
    Rather more of it in Canada,

    but still not exactly heavy on technical detail, like curves of how much power vs wind speed per unit length or output voltage or how cost compares per KW with solar or anything useful. You could try

    let us know how you get on if you do.

  • Thanks,

    I have sent them an email. Now to see if they reply.

    I already have solar panels and a battery and am looking to diversify with wind power.

  • These are very good. It is best to site any wind turbines on a pole away from the house as they can create nose or vibrations. If strong winds are anticipated guy ropes will be needed as well .

  • I live in an urban district and have to think about my neighbours who have children. I agree with siting standard wind turbines away from the roof but I am concerned about the safety in our environment. Hence I am attracted by the RidgeBlades. These are said to not be noisy and not create vibrations. They are NOT traditional wind turbines.
