“…Kean Stimm, an inventor, scientist and engineer, developed the Newtonian Wind Turbine, a device that [could] provide lower-cost electricity to power, heat and cool buildings…[It is based on] Sir Isaac Newton’s principles regarding centripetal force as it relates to motion and velocity…[According to Stimm, today’s turbines convert 1 percent of the wind but his] Newtonian Wind Turbine is designed to convert more than 40 percent of wind energy into useful electrical power…The price of one Kean wind turbine is 1/20th that of an existing windmill of equivalent output…[and has] eight basic components, with a total of only about 80 parts…[while] a typical three-blade windmill has 8,000 parts…[Stimm’s] turbine is being designed and manufactured in two sizes: a 4-meter turbine for commercial and manufacturing rooftops, and a larger 8-meter turbine for industrial, commercial and large operating plants. Each turbine is mounted on a short stand, with ladders inside the stand to provide access for maintenance…” click here for more
