Did you know humans have been using wind energy for thousands of years? Beginning as early as 5,000 B.C. wind was helping people with things such as propelling boats, pumping water, and grinding grain. https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/energy-explained/history-wind-energy
In 1854, Daniel Halladay revolutionized wind power by patenting the first commercially successful self-governing windmill. His innovative design not only allowed the windmill to automatically adjust to changing wind directions, but also regulated its speed to protect against high winds.

Just a few decades later, in 1887 Professor James Blyth in Scotland created what many believe to be the world’s first wind turbine to generate electricity. Standing 10 meters tall and made from cloth and sails, Blyth’s turbine charged accumulators (primitive batteries) that powered the lighting in his holiday home. He even offered to share the electricity with people in his town, though they feared it might be the work of the devil and denied the offer.

A year later in 1888, inventor Charles F. Brush took wind energy to the next level by designing the world’s first automatically operating wind turbine. His 56 foot tall turbine, with 144 cedar wood blades, generated enough electricity to power his mansion, several homes nearby, and even the streetlights of downtown Cleveland. Brush’s turbine was designed to automatically turn into the wind using a balanced system of weights and levers. Discover more about Brush’s turbine here: https://tinyurl.com/Brush-design
These early inventions, while not really “the work of the devil”, paved the way for today’s wind energy systems, and it’s amazing to see how far we’ve come in using wind to create clean, renewable energy. Here at Harmony Turbines, we are working to bring yet another innovation to the clean energy sector with our own Savonius style turbines and patented furling system. Some of the key points we hope to capitalize on with our turbines are convenience, aesthetics, features and reliability.
If you haven't already considered doing so, we invite you to invest in Harmony Turbines, and be part of something we believe has the potential to impact the global clean energy movement. (https://www.startengine.com/harmony-turbines)
