The SRI - Wind Energy Conversion System

The Niagara Acorn - Vertical Axis Wind Turbine





No wires or cable supports for the tower. The gyro effect of the unit eliminates the stress on the tower. The unit is very stable.

Will not shut down. There is a designed limit to the operation by cavitations. The unit cannot over rev. Even in the most violent storms the unit will continue to produce the maximum rated
power with no damage to the machine and no increase in safety considerations for the surrounding area.


Safe for Birds, Animals, Bats - No bird kills
Extreme weather operation. Designed for the high arctic, snow and ice build up is easily shed without negative impact to the unit. This unit was made for the harsh Canadian climate. The
blade design gently sheds snow and ice and will not throw ice as is common with propeller driven units.


No rudder or wind seeking device. The VAWT can accept wind turbulence from any direction without the need to swing into the changing wind. This reduces the major cause of tower
stress and propeller system failure.


High Stress. This unit is made of specifically engineered metals and specialty polymers. The units are stress tested to insure safe operation at extreme wind conditions.


Noiseless.  The unit operates on sealed bearings soundlessly and complies to all municipal noise code restrictions for installations on apartment building complexes

Easy to erect. Simple modular tower structure contains all the prewired components. The towers do not need to be as high as the standard propeller units as there is no down reaching blade to consider, plus the VAWT can operate at maximum output in turbulent ground level wind. The unit will not stall or be negatively effected by crosswinds.

Safe blade design. As compared to the aggressive and dangerous propeller the VAWT never exposes an dangerous blade angle. In operation the unit will push technicians away from the unit if contact is made during operation at any speed.
Affordable. The cost of the VAWT is less than most comparable propeller devices at all ranges of electrical output.
The units can be leased.


Low maintenance ( if any )

Efficient. The unit starts in 3.8 mph wind speed. This unit is more efficient than any propeller unit for total running time and low level wind speeds.
Brushless generator. Durable and will not interfere with sensitive telecommunications equipment.
