Wind power
on commercial and residential buildings with minimum noise |

The cuboid form of "building integrated wind turbine" can be |
||||||
| ||||||
The external surface areas of buildings increase the wind collection effect for the turbines attached on buildings which can potentially convert wind into power proportional to the cube of the wind velocity. |

"The efficiency with minimum
wind
resistance"(E) along with "the wind effect on buildings" (B) of Edona turbines can lower the cut-in wind speed to as low as 1 m/sec which is much lower than conventional turbines used today. |

*Cut-in wind speed: Minimum wind speed
to generate power |
||||||
It makes it possible to generate power continuously even in cities with low average wind speed. The units can be installed on buildings in urban settings to be energy self-sufficient with added benefits of stabilizing buildings during high wind conditions by absorbing vibrations. Multiple large unit installations can form a wind farm harvesting unlimited wind power. |
