The Home or Office Fanturbine

The fan-like blades drag up to 98% of prevailing winds and transform the wind into electricity, a breakthrough from the conventional aero-blades that “lift” the wind and lets most of it escape into the atmosphere, retaining only 40% at best, but usually much less.

The Fanturbine is manufactured in a one-step compression molding process to maximize strength and stability for resisting winds up to 376 miles per hour, considerably higher than hurricane speeds. And it only needs a start-up wind of 1 mile per hour, as opposed to the conventional aero blades that need at least a breeze of 6 mph.

“”Wind energy with aero blades has a rightfully bad reputation of not generating enough power, breaking in high winds and being a threat to flying wildlife,” says Jerry Choe, Xene Corporation CEO. “The Fanturbine eliminates those concerns by running at a whisper-quiet level and is completely visible to birds, because its wide 3-feet-by-by 3-feet dimensions look like a solid object to wildlife. Yet the home unit only weighs 35 pounds and can be easily mounted on a rooftop of a home or business.

While the company’s ultimate goal is to build 1 Gigawatt turbines (enough to power 750,000 homes or 300 large commercial buildings and eliminate carbon dioxide emissions equal to taking as much as than 200,000 cars for one year), it all starts at home with its first entry, the 5-Kilowatt-hour (kWh) home Fanturbine. It generates enough power to cover all the electrical and natural gas heating needs of a 2,000-square-foot home or office building (based on the average annual U.S. home electricity cost of $1,452 according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration and the average annual natural gas bill which was $761.04 in 2021.

The 5 kWh was launched in four South- and Central-American countries recently and Xene Corporation anticipates a global roll out by the end of this year.
