The Green Wave Windsock wind turbine, which is still in its development stage, will lead the way in commercial wind production. It will be a key component in LeDoux Industries’ solar/wind farm concept...an environmentally friendly, energy production facility that eliminates dependence on fossil fuels in a quiet, safe, and efficient way.

The Green Wave Windsock Wind Turbine  is a patented hybrid wind turbine that combines the best of both traditional horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTS) and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTS). The Windsock:

• Is not affected by turbulence or wind drag
• Does not require a tower, equipment can be sited and maintained at roof or ground level
• Can actually be stacked – one on top of the other – as many as six units high
• Can be built to a scale that fits almost any application
• Generates power at low wind speed (2-3 mph), while other wind turbines do not
• Generates a good amount of power while occupying a small space
• Costs only a fraction of the cost of other turbines; is inexpensive to build; has a fast payback; and can be quickly replaced
• Faces automatically into the wind to generate more power than other turbines
• Maintenance costs are extremely low compared to HAWTs and other VAWTs
• Reacts safely and effectively in response to sudden and powerful wind gusts.  No blade warping; no breaking or breakdown as with other turbines
• No high rpm blades as with a HAWT-- does not harm birds or wild life or cause scenic pollution
• Is silent: no “hum” and no known auditory or related side effects to humans or wild life
• Has a design ideal for use in cities, subdivisions, residential areas, and even backyards
• Is compact (except large industrial applications); and can be easily transported
