RidgeBlade ® is the first product from the Power Collective and is winner of the 2009 Dutch Postcode Lottery Green Challenge. The RidgeBlade is an innovative, affordable and effective way of harnessing the wind's power to produce renewable electricity. RidgeBlade addresses the issues associated with traditional micro-wind generation technologies. The unique design means it can reliably produce electricity in low or variable wind conditions whilst creating very little visual impact. This means that it is suitable for locations including urban houses, rural buildings and environmentally-sensitive sites such as National Parks. The RidgeBlade is fitted on the ridge line at the top of a building and uses the existing roof area to collect and focus the prevailing wind. This is where the wind is forced to travel over the roof surface, accelerating the airflow though the turbine. The RidgeBlade generates electricity in a wide variety of wind conditions making it a quiet, discrete and effective way to reduce carbon emissions and cut electricity bills. The Power Collective aims to issue a target release date early in 2010 which will ensure all necessary refinement and performance testing is completed prior to releasing the RidgeBlade to the market.
