| Following is a summary of the principal characteristics of the Sambrabec system compared to other traditional windmills (propeller or blade type). |
| Sambrabec system | OTHERS |
| unique
turbine technology
(patents in various countries) |
no equivalent |
| simple and highly reliable construction | complex (brakes, etc) |
| modular concept(capacity can be increased after installation) | no equivalent |
| built
to meet marine standards
(up to 250 km/h) |
max. winds of 50 - 70 km/h |
| minimum
wind required is 5 - 8 km/h
( 3 - 5 mph ) |
17 - 20 km/h ( 10 - 12 mph ) |
| recommended to lower the pole for winds in excess of 150 km/h | (brakes activated) |
| system
can be quickly lowered
(i.e. hurricane or strong tropical storm) |
no equivalent |
| low purchase cost | varies |
| noise free (silent) | noisy (disturbing) |
| no vibration | significant vibration |
| minimum to no maintenance | varies |
| highly
efficient over 50 %
( captures 3 vectors of the wind ) |
20 to 30 % ( 1 vector only ) |
| easily erected (less than a day) | varies |
| does not require braking system | requires a braking system |
| approx. 5¢US / 8¢CAD per kWh (amortized over 10 years) | varies |
| life expectancy: 30 years (first sales were made in 1986, systems are still in operation) | varies |
| aluminum, stainless steel, PVC and ABS construction, corrosion and UV resistant | varies |
