Southwest Windpower Launches Air Breeze Turbine
Air Breeze, a 17-lb wind turbine for mobile and remote low-power applications,
replaces the popular Air X in the Southwest Windpower line. The new mill features
30 percent wider blades for power at lower wind speeds, with quieter operation at all
speeds. The new rotor, along with a die-cast housing, improve the unit’s durability,
and a brushless neodymium alternator controlled by all-new electronic circuitry
provides smoother power delivery with fewer shut-downs in high winds. Rated at 200
watts at 28 mph ( 12. 5 meters per second), the Air Breeze makes power from 6 mph
( 2. 68 meters per second) to 110 mph ( 49. 2 meters per second). windenergy.com

Huvco Introduces Fiber Optic
Daylight System
The Fiber Optic Skylight system developed in Sweden by Parans Solar Lighting AB
is now available in the United States through
HUVCO Daylighting Solutions.
The Fiber Optic Skylight is comprised of
an exterior mounted panel containing 64
computer-controlled lenses that track the sun
and focus light on the optical fibers. The
fibers are bundled into 6-mm optical cables
that can be run through walls and ceiling
spaces to transport natural light up to 60 feet
( 18 meters). A variety of luminaries is available to diffuse light indoors. Hybrid luminaries combine natural light with electric
light fixtures that turn on automatically as the
sun sets or when it’s obscured by dark clouds.
The first system installed in the United
States is at the EnviroCenter in Jessup, Md.
Architect Stanley Sersen explains, “The Fiber
Optic Skylight pipes the sunlight right into
where you want it and helps us reduce our
carbon footprint.” huvco.com
