A wind turbine on top of an RV or a Tiny House rolling down the highway will definitely spin, but it is unlikely that the amount of energy you generate would be as much as the added gas you use because of the increased drag, so the smart money would be on a net loss of energy. It amounts to using one source of energy to generate another, like if you were to plug in a fan and use electricity to make a wind turbine spin to generate electricity. So no, we would not recommend putting a wind turbine on top of an RV. Andthe Power pod wind turbine is certainly cute looking, but not functional. Our engineer dissected it and it simply cannot produce anywhere close to the spectacular claims the makers say it will. You may be best to just stick with solar.
Are you adventurous and ready to increase your access to sustainable energy? This post is for you. The Zoetrope is a vertical-axis wind turbine made from common materials. Many…
The fully off-grid Ecocapsule has its own micro-power generation and rainwater treatment system. We saw this on Off Grid Quest and found it was begging to be shared... If your…
Micro power generation such as wind turbines and other renewable energy generators are a small step towards stopping climate change. We've seen portable charging devices for…
We were told about the PowerPod compact home wind turbine appearing on a Kickstarter campaign, but having seen a fair few home wind turbines in the past that failed to deliver…
These guide pages are intended to help you find the most efficient and affordable options for pretty much anything that runs on power, and the best ways to generate power…
