GWS Wind Turbines - Green Products Expo

It is absolutely delightful to know that there still are conventions like the Green product Expo and that they are wiling to carry the Green Wave across the planet. The Green Product Expo of this year also saw the familiar display of gadgets that run on alternate sources of energy and the line-up is again as impressive if not more than any time in the past. HYmini showed off their wind-powered gadget charger at the Greener Gadgets Conference, a few weeks back. The booth was filled with GWS gadgets that thrive and sustain homes using wind and solar energy.

GWS--that stands for Green Wind Solar--doesn't actually manufacture the HYmini. Rather, they help market the thing. Probably for the best, given that the people who designed the device are also the ones who settled on its highly unfortunate name.

The HYmini series is something that sounds more like a mini skirt than an environment project, but then I am not the one involved in selling it, so what do I know? The product produces energy based on wind and is your modern day version of the turbine.

GWS also markets several other cool wind-powered devices. Take the Seahawk Vertical Axis Wind Turbine, a consumer-targeted omni-directional wind turbine that attaches to your house and generates electricity. As speed increasing, the Seahawk appears to become a solid object, making it easier to spot for birds that might otherwise get caught up in its spinning.

The Seahawk is one of several wind turbines available through them. Now here is some great news for you. Jay Leno has one installed apparently and that means that it works just fine. So if you are one of those guys who buy everything owned by a celebrity, then you are going to love this thing. It is anyway nice of big mouth Jay to finally do something like this.
