FAZE CHANGE PRODUX
Manufactures EconOdome Kits and Distributes Carolina Wind Power Turbines.
Sturdy domes built with EconOdome Kits protect, stabilize, and enhance VAWT's by Carolina Wind Turbines.
A dome surrounding the base of a VAWT creates multifunction enclosed working and/or living space.
Precision-cut EconOdome Kits have ten equal sides to make building a dome easier.
The easy-to-seal composite cement exterior EconOdome surface is both fire and puncture resistant.
Complete Detailed Installation Instructions are supplied with all EconOdome Kits and Carolina Wind Turbines.
The Carolina Wind Power Turbine is a quiet and vibration free vertical axis wind power turbine.
As the generator and sails assemblies do not use complicated mechanical gearing and braking systems,
the Carolina Wind Power Turbine can be expected to have a working life in excess of twenty years.
One of the unique features of this wind power turbine is the disc shaped generator
that is able to produce a significant amount of power at low wind speeds.
For example, at a wind speed of 10 miles per hour (4.47 meters per second),
The Carolina Wind Turbine can produce approximately 2.5 kilowatts of power.
Higher wind speeds will, of course, produce more power.
Presently, we are offering the Carolina Wind Turbine with a 6 kilowatt rated multifunction inverter
that can be grid tied or used to charge deep cell batteries to make an independent power station.
Output voltage can be either 120vac 60cps or 240vac 50cps.
Strategically located copper windings and magnets near the outside perimeter of the disc shaped generator
have the potential to produce more power than other turbine designs.
The Carolina Wind turbine with a dome enclosure is a self contained wind power generator
that can be located anywhere the wind blows.
Ideal locations include: the flat roof of a commercial building, on a dome, or in an open field.
The standard height turbine unit has the bottom of the 14 ft. high by 14 ft. diameter sails assembly
located at height of ten feet above the ground.
Please call 217-728-2184 for current pricing and details on Carolina Wind Power Turbines.
Cost for the optional dome kit varies depending on size and design.
The photo above shows a complete frame kit with polycarbonate triangle panels and prefab lower perimeter walls.
Normally all EconOdome frame kits are clad with composite cement roofing and siding panels.
The exterior surface is then sealed with painted-on elastometic sealing paint.
The 13 foot diameter dome shown in the photo below is clad with polycarbonate for demonstration purposes only.
If you desire more interior space, the dome enclosure may be larger.
Available sizes are 13, 24, 30, 38.5, 48, and 58 feet in diameter. See www.kitdomes.com for dome kit pricing and details.
For clients living outside the USA payment must be made in full and in advance.
For clients located inside the USA a 50% deposit is required prior to manufacturing your unit.
The design can be altered to fit your particular installation requirements.
Photo above shows the crew that worked on putting this demonstration model together.
The standard Carolina Wind Power generation unit includes:
A disc shaped axial flux generator, 6 kilowatt multifunction inverter that can be used anywhere in the world,
plus the upper rotational sails assembly which includes the standard height stand.
Options include: 1. A sturdy 12 foot high stand to elevate the entire sails assembly.
2. An EconOdome kit sized to fit your application, cut-to-fit roofing and siding, vents, and waterproofing.
The dome may be used to weather proof the electronics and provide protected space for deep cell storage batteries.
A larger dome may also include living and/or working space. See www.kitdomes.com for details and pricing.
The roof of a sturdy EconOdome building is an ideal location for the mounting a vertical axis wind turbine:
1. Dome shaped buildings, built with EconOdome kits, are round and aerodynamic in shape (for better wind).
2. The EconOdome building is elevated by increasing the height of the supporting perimeter walls.
------This both increases the useable space within the dome building and elevates the wind turbine (for better wind).
3. The EconOdome is clad with composite cement panels that are waterproofed with elastomeric
(in a special way) to create a durable and smooth surface (for better wind).
4. Wind coming from any direction and passing over the dome is laminar and speed is increased
------due to the roof effect (for better wind).
5. Mounting a wind turbine above a dome building also creates useable living or commercial space (dual purpose).
6. Dome shaped buildings are extremely strong and provide a safe and secure mounting location.
------because of the way an EconOdome kit is assembled and sealed, the VAWT can be securely bolted in place.
7. Economical, energy efficient, fire safe, & storm safe--dome homes--
------that produce their own power--make sense in our ever changing world.
