MicroCube Wind power Plant

The power plant, called MicroCube, is actually a "small fan + generator" combination that outputs three-phase alternating current and then converts it into a DC to charge the battery pack.

A MicroCube length and width height is about 23 centimeters, weighs about 1.4 kilograms. Said to be "one," because it is powerful because it can be used to connect multiple MicroCube, output more power, and a bit similar to the 18650 battery pack.

In fact, a lot of similar wind power generation device, MicroCube advantage lies in good aerodynamic performance, the blade at 1.6/h wind speed can be rotated, the maximum can withstand the speed of km/h.

There are many ways of using energy, and the key is to "efficiency". Before we analyzed the "Car + solar panel" principle, but the practical use is not big. Solar panels are subject to light, MicroCube are subject to wind, but on the power density, MicroCube is superior to solar panels. If you use several MicroCube in series, the output power is 18 times times the same size solar panel.

Officials say installing several MicroCube on an electric car can boost the battery by up to 3-4 times. Robert Yost 2800 watts of power for four groups of MicroCube installed on the Ford vehicle. But what needs to be put in particular is that he did not say "2800" the figure was measured at what wind speed. "

To get a clear idea of the structure of the MicroCube, I found the structure of the device from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). In the registered information, the name of the patent is: "modular micro wind turbine", the application time is March 2012, the public time is June 2015. Meanwhile, on the patent, a US patent examiner said: "There has never been a performance comparable to the MicroCube of generators, its emergence will bring great changes." 」

Robert Yost and his americanwind.

Yost used to be an aerodynamic expert working for companies like Boeing and General Electric. One day in 2011, he and his wife were sitting outside the house, when the tornado was just past and the wind blew the fan, and he wondered why he would not use the wind.

So in February 2012, he set up the Americanwind company to develop MicroCube.
