# Egg Beater Power Generators Energy Ball Wind Turbine Produces Power at 4 MPH By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-03-21 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energy-ball-wind-turbine References: [articlesnatch](http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Using-The-Energy-Ball-V100-To-Create-Electricity/936765) & [bit.ly](http://bit.ly/9F82Ad) The Energy Ball [wind turbine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blademade-1) looks like an egg beater. The ball is aerodynamically designed to create a wind flow pattern that uses principles of the Venturi effect to increase efficiency. It is quiet and produces power at a wind speed of just 4 MPH. The Energy Ball DIY power was marketed by Swedish Home Energy with manufacturing in the Netherlands in 2008. In 2009 it established a manufacturing plant in McKinney and an office in Fort Worth, Texas. A [complete home system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balcony-energy-storage-unit) including installation is in the $11,000 range. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Aerodynamic Wind Turbines:** Manufacturing more efficient wind turbines that use principles of aerodynamics provides disruptive innovation opportunities for the renewable energy industry. - **Small Scale Wind Energy:** Developing wind energy solutions for individual households provides disruptive innovation opportunities for the energy industry. - **DIY Sustainable Energy:** The DIY market for sustainable energy solutions is growing and companies can capitalize on this trend by providing easy-to-install and affordable solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Renewable Energy:** Innovations in aerodynamic wind turbines and small scale wind energy can disrupt the traditional renewable energy industry. - **Diy/home Improvement:** The DIY sustainable energy market is growing and companies in the home improvement industry can take advantage of this trend by offering affordable and easy-to-install solutions. - **Manufacturing:** Manufacturing companies can benefit from producing aerodynamic wind turbines and small scale wind energy solutions for the growing renewable energy market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Portable-Wind-Generator.md) - [Travel-Ready Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-turbine-generator.md) - [Mast-Mounted Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-blanc.md) - [Portable Wind Turbine Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shine-20.md) - [Honeycomb-Shaped Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bladeless-wind-turbine-design.md) - [Single-Blade Offshore Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleblade-offshore-wind-turbine.md) - [Wind Turbine Compact Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blademade.md) - [Turbine-Based Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blademade-1.md) - [Portable Energy Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-energy-generator.md)
