Important in that claim is the 'could', so Ecohome's engineers decided to run some figures of their own just to see if this claim looks plausible. The makers of the PowerPod compact domestic wind turbine on Kickstarter claim that "for places that get less than 300 days of sun a year, a PowerPod could produce more power, for less money than solar panels" which really did make us wonder, as there are so many variables in play that we don't see how that can always be true. Are small domestic wind turbines any good?
Created by a company in Salt Lake City, Utah named Halcium, the company is hopeful that the Powerpod will be a game changer in home renewable energy generation - which we are all for if this were to prove itself. We found the PowerPod compact home wind turbine on a Kickstarter campaign, which looks great in principle, but having seen a few home wind turbines in the past that failed to deliver on their promises, we thought it potentially looked a little too great. This is great to see, but the waters of sensible change will no doubt be muddied along the way by some failed attempts, some questionable claims, and perhaps even a little snake oil! Countless inventors are stepping up to the plate with the latest and greatest green technologies that will save the planet.
