An American firm with a European division, Flower Turbines, is making strides in changing the way we harness wind energy through its tulip-shaped, small wind turbines. These turbines are very attractive, environmentally friendly, and almost silent, making them a safe energy source for cities and towns. Thanks to its proprietary technology, Flower Turbines is coming out as a major player in the market for distributed energy systems.

Flower Turbines: The solution for wind energy in urban areas that is eco-friendly and silent

Flower Turbines offers the solution for windy apparatuses that are difficult to get such as range of towers and wind turbine systems particularly for urban and residential kitchens. Their patented edible however nonfunctional petal shaped blades tilt to a vertical position reducing the space taken in comparison to the horizontal wind generators.

This contributes to their aesthetic benefits in such a way that the clean energy produced by the turbines does not ruin the scenery to be maintained by the people.The turbines are also designed to operate at low startup speed, which means they can catch winds of energy that are moving at as low as 1 mph, hence very suitable for regions where the wind patterns change largely. On top of that sleek form and excellent performance, the Flower Turbines have addressed one more problem associated with the traditional wind plants, such as noise pollution.

Their turbines are still nearly silent and therefore can be placed in populated areas without bothering the residents. In addition, they are symmetric slow-moving blades, which reduces the risk of hurting birds and bats which are a drawback of wide-open blade designs. This initiative resonates with the increasing calls for renewable energy technology that does not negatively impact wildlife.

The Cluster Effect of Flower Turbines: Increasing the efficiency of urban wind energy generation by as much as 20%-50%

Patented by Flower Turbines, Cluster Effect makes them best suited for enclosed areas. While most turbines stacked together end up losing power due to inefficiencies, when using Flower Turbines and clustering them, each turbine helps increase the output of the other turbine by 20-50% as they are designed to work more efficiently.

This allows floor-standing wind turbine to be available in different capacities ranging from 100 watts to 3000 watts suitable for both domestic and industrial purposes, thus offering a pleasing, productive solution for urban renewable energy.

Prizes for the best innovations: Flower Turbines, ranked in the top 10 most fundable US startups

Sustainable innovation adapted by Flower Turbines has and continues to impact award schemes for the company. This is the company crowned by Pepperdine University’s Graziadio Business School as one of the ten most fundable companies in the United States which was able to show the market potential of 4 500 other start-ups.

In addition, they are also the recipients of the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label, which is awarded to all technologies that are sustainable and at the same time profitable. The company has also won several sustainability awards on the Dutch sustainability initiatives two of which are issued by the Dutch government as well as the award won during the Yes San Francisco/World Economic Forum contests.

Recognition of such awards serves as a testament to the fact that Flower Turbines can incorporate beauty and efficacy into one product. There is development of small wind power as part of Zhivye City energy systems that is done in a bid to encourage non-solar alternatives. Hence, the Wind Tulips from Flower Turbines are helping in the transformation of energy to cleaner, more decentralized.

Flower Turbines transforms wind power into an easy-to-use, affordable and attractive source of energy for urban and domestic settings. The firm has nine core features which are noise attenuation, unique clustering and design, and advances in wind energy technology. It changes the world of renewable energy—one tulip at a time.
