by Rebecca Walker — July 10, 2009—The first installation of a Wind Cube on a commercial building is taking place in Ohio.
The wind energy device, which measures 22 feet tall and across, sits on the rooftop of the Crown Battery Manufacturing Company in the Lake Erie Business Park in Port Clinton. Crown Battery is using the Wind Cube to charge the batteries it manufactures locally.
The device can operate at ambient wind speeds of as low as five miles per hour. It was installed by Green Energy Technologies of Akron, which developed the device for urban areas and those in which traditional large wind turbines are not practical.
