As you may recall, Google hosted a contest last year. The winner in the category for wind turbines/power, was the Jellyfish Wind Turbine from Clarian technologies. I thought this was such an innovative idea, I posted about it in January 2009, as Jellyfish Windpower , and updated the topic again in June 2009, as JellyFish Plug-In Windpower .
The JellyFish, is a great innovation in Wind Turbines. It changes the public perspective, that a wind turbine should be big, expensive, and has to be, more than 30 feet tall. The Jellyfish has dimensions of only 48” x 36” (1.2m x 0.9m), and weighs about 30 pounds. Roughly, it is able to generate about 40 kWh / a month, on an average windy day. That’s enough to power a room with CFL light bulbs, a blender, or a toaster. There is no fancy setup, to use the Jellyfish. Just plug it directly, into electrical sockets. It also comes with Wi-Fi and WiMax, modules.
The Genius behind Jellyfish, is Seattle’s Chad Maqlaque. He visions that, “We could have 10,000 of these sitting in a city, when networked—it’s like a virtual utility…”
The Jellyfish Wind Turbine, is not available for market, just yet, but will be in 2011. However, you can sign up online(Below) for pre- order,to be sure to get yours, through their site, at clariantechnologies.com. It’s expected to retail for around $400. At higher production volumes, the prices may be dropped to $199. This is where if we start demanding these products, more will be made, and they should become cheaper.
My friend Linda, at Forced Green, recently posted about the JellyFish, and the SunFish. We both love the idea, of what these products can do. Let’s work together, by contacting QVC and Costco, so we can help get these products, on the shelves. These two companies, have been quite helpful, in getting new and innovative products on the market, and they’ve been doing it for years. Together, we can all be working, toward better and greener tomorrows for everyone!
What would these tools do for your business, and your POCKETS?
