A new and revolutionary form of wind generation was introduced to the island recently by isle of Man company EnergyManagement Systems.
EMS has become the sole Isle of Man distributor for Windtronics - as the company develops its UK and European markets. The gearless turbine is completely silent in it's operation. In the US a single unit has been show to generate 30 to 40 per cent of the power required by a domestic household in a year.
Government, local authority and a rang of private sector organisations were invited to a presentation at the Nobles Park Pavillion at which the innovative Blade tip gearless power system devloped by US based Windtronics was unveilled.
Quick and simple installation was another major bonus of the WindTronics turbine over existing technology. The units can be attached to buildings or erected on a stand alone basis in upland areas - subject to relevant palnning approvals.
