If you are the type of person who has considered whether you could have an effective alternative and renewable energy source, rather than regularly relying on the power company and paying exorbitant rates for power, then the Energy Ball v200 could be the answer. An aerodynamic and artistic design offers any homeowner the chance to harness the vast power of the wind and convert it into electricity in their home.

The Energy Ball v200 is the stronger cousin of the v100 and manufacture up to 2,500 watts of power and only demands 6.7 miles per hour of wind to operate and start producing power. If you are unfamiliar with the levels of wind in your community, this is a mild breeze and most regions of the world experience at least this much wind on any given day.

The oblong shape and unique appearance of the Energy Ball v200’s rotating blades capture the wind not just in one dimension, like most windmills and wind turbines, but as it passes through, creating more rotation and thus more power. This design is intended to manufacture more electrical power with less wind.

Because of the nature of volatile fuel prices and battles in Congress over the building of nuclear power plants, offshore oil drilling, producing ethanol from crops, and other ways to create electricity in the coming years, renewable energy is still the best benefit for homeowners. By making your own electricity with the use of wind power, or even solar power, you can reduce your dependence on the power from the electric companies.

The Energy Ball v200 will continually produce electrical power, despite what the weather is doing, just so long as a breeze is blowing. Of course, for many people, this won’t eliminate your reliance on external power, but it will get you a long way to reducing your consumption on your next bill. By helping your power consumption with the Energy Ball v200, you also provide power for other parts of the region, or even reduce the need for the power company to manufacture it.

The Energy Ball turbine doesn’t look anything like a piece of machinery, so that it can be located just about anywhere in your property that has a consistent quantity of wind. Of course, you don’t want to place it near the shadow of the house or under massive trees. You want to place this unit in the open where the wind can reach it from any direction.

The turbine swivels just like a regular windmill or wind turbine so that wherever the wind is approaching from, it will rotate the unit to face the wind and thus capture as much as possible. By making as much as 2,500 watts of power, this can power any number of electrical devices in the home, including computer systems, refrigerators, air conditioning units, and much more.

Most of these devices will be incorporated into the power input of the home so that when you demand more energy, you still receive from the main power company.
