blackhawk tr-10The Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Articulating Rotor

TR-10 (patented)

The Blackhawk Tilt Rotor VAWT/AR is changing the landscape of alternative energy and the access individuals have to it. The TR-10 will allow the average user to access up to 1.2 kilowatts of wind-generated power, lessening their dependence upon coal-fired, petroleum burning, hydroelectric and nuclear power plants.

With efficiencies in advance of the older style wind mills, and with much lower, self-starting cut-in speeds, the Blackhawk VAWT/AR allows its owner to realize clean energy generation at times when other individual wind energy systems are just marking time. Push/pull rods change the pitch of the solid "sails" in the same way helicopter rotors, turboprop propellers and standard windmill rotors do, but without any of the complicated electronic control systems.

The dampened Articulating Rotor, a design which allows the entire turbine to ‘lean into the wind' to generate and retain higher torque at lower RPMs, develops greater amounts of power as wind speed varies.

The aesthetically pleasing, extremely quiet and easily zoned Blackhawk is also bird-friendly.
