Mariah Power's Windspire: Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
Reno NV (SPX) Nov 17, 2008 Mariah Power was recognized in "Best of What's New" in the green tech category by Popular Science in its December 2008 issue. The Windspire is a 30-foot-tall, propeller-free, vertical-axis wind turbine designed for harnessing wind power in urban, suburban and rural locations for residential and commercial use. Each year, Popular Science reviews thousands of new products and innovations and chooses the top 100 winners across 11 categories for inclusion in its annual "Best of What's New" issue, the most-read issue of the year. To win, a product or technology must represent a significant step forward in its category. This award comes on the heels of the company's announcement of its first volume manufacturing facility in Michigan that will be up and running next year, and the first multi-unit commercial installation of six Windspires at Devon Bank, the first "green bank" in the Chicago, Illinois area. The Windspire's powerful, sleek and aesthetically pleasing design allows it to blend in well with a variety of settings, making it an ideal renewable energy option for home and business owners. The low cost of the system and its noise-free operation render it an economical choice for consumers, appropriate for sitting close to where people live and work. Unique characteristics like its tall slender profile, integrated design, passive aerodynamic speed control, and passive self-starting mechanism all contributed to Popular Science's choice of the Windspire for this esteemed award. "Popular Science is a recognized leader in identifying 'game changing' technology," said Mike Hess, CEO of Mariah Power. "We have engineered a product that will alter today's energy landscape for businesses and residences. We are honored to be in such good company and congratulate the other prestigious award winners. This recognition validates our premise that there is a definite need for solid alternative energy solutions that are both economical and attractive." "For 21 years, Popular Science's 'Best of What's New' awards honor the innovations that make a positive impact on life today and change our views of the future," says Mark Jannot, editor-in-chief of Popular Science. "PopSci's editors evaluate thousands of products each year to develop this thoughtful list. There's no higher accolade Popular Science can give." Share This Article With Planet Earth
