Having the goal of reducing the demand for grid electricity, a South Korean company decided to create a new type of streetlights and renewable energy generators.
Looping Korea presented its latest inventions at the Renewable Energy World 2010.
Its Loopwing-type wind power generators boast a one-of-a-kind loop-shaped wing structure that allows generating electricity from winds that have speed as low as 2m/s.
In addition, the design also makes it possible for the device to produce power without much noise.
In addition, the design also makes it possible for the device to produce power without much noise.
One of the models of Loopwing type wind power generator is called the TRONC. It features a hybrid solar and wind energy generator and it doesn't need extra source of energy. Besides, the streetlight can be even connected to such external devices as LED display systems.TRONC represents a complex that includes a small windmill and sunlight panel mounted on top. It also features a loop wing style blade of that is 1.5 meters in diameter.
The second items of Loopwing are μ series which are small & medium sized wind power generators to generate electrical power. μ series have three types of products as generator capacity including μ2850(2kw), μ4800(5kw), and μ6670(11kw).It is almost unlimited to install with low noise and high efficiency therefore it is right to generate electrical power for itself to the place where a green-house, river side of village and high-rise building of city. μ series is mainly designed as 20 years life for area with great deal of salt and dust, and is operational in cold climate condition under -20°c.
