My neighbors in Mud Bay are worried about the noise of my helix wind mill.  It’s highly un likely when the wind is a blowing in ‘da hood, that they will hear anything other than the wind.   Their concerns are based on a windmill the former owner had on the property over 15 years ago.    As I understand it from some of the long time neighbors, the former windmill took up the majority of the two acre field and was well over 100 feet high.   It was also extremely loud.    My new windmill is a vertical windmill made by Helix for urban enviroments that produces a noise signature LESS than most ambient noise produced from windy locations.  http://www.helixwind.com/download/factSheet63_1_Helix_Noise_Assessment.pdf , It is four feet wide and stands less than 35 feet tall.   Anyone who has ever come out to my point when it’s windy, knows well the roar of the wind.   When it’s calm, the vertical helix wind turbine won’t be operating any how, therefore, there will be no noise.

I am doing my first presentation on what I’ve been doing with Cheetah Power tomorrow night (Dec. 14, 2009) at the Puget Sound PMI Chapter meeting. The presentation starts at 7:45 PM at the Bellevue Hyatt.
