Why i'm buying Helix Wind Corp (Public, PINK:HLXW) top penny stock to buy in 2011

Why i'm buying Helix Wind Corp (Public, PINK:HLXW) top penny stock to buy in 2011


All Power America Complete Wind Turbine Package - 3500 Rated Watts, Model# APWT-3500H
Ken Morgan, the founder of Helix Wind introduces the Helix Wind Turbine, a grid tie or off grid power system


Efficiency is only part of the equation. Capacity factor is the other important part. Most HAWTs are inherently more efficient than VAWTs, but when it comes to utilizing the available wind resource over the course of a year to generate electricity, they end up producing less b/c they have many operating limitations. The ONLY metric that really matters is $/kWhr generated. On that variable, for target applications for this technology, Helix is highly competitive.

This is indeed the minimum speed required for it to start turning, however that's not the same as to produce power. Most small wind manufacturers will issue confusing statistics which can be misleading to customers. Cut in speed does not equal starting production speed. You really need about 7m/s average annual wind speed for ANY small wind turbine to generate significant output,
more output in wind tunnel tests, not in the real world where the wind changes direction, and if you consider the additional swept area created by the duct as part of the turbine, then you're really not seeing an efficiency improvement, only a swept area increase. Second, the key challenge with the Savonious is to make it durable, efficient, reliable and cost effective. That's where all the development $ has gone.

Helix Wind, Corp. (Helix Wind), formerly Clearview Acquisitions, Inc., is engaged in the alternative energy business offering a distributed power technology platform designed to produce electric energy from the wind. The Company’s subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the research and development of its products. The Company utilizes two distribution channels to market and sell its products: direct sales to end users and installers and indirect or channel sales with resellers domestically and internationally. The Company provides energy independence utilizing wind for residential, commercial and vertical market applications. The Company’s turbines offer a pollution free alternative to conventional energy sources. The Company offers wind turbines in two sizes for electricity production. The S322 is rated at two kilowatts of power output while the S594 is rated at four kilowatts of power output.

Corporate Governance
Inexpensive, reliable, simple, the hallmarks of the Helix system make it the best choice for low wind speed residential and commercial applications. The Savonius turbine based design catches wind from all directions creating smooth powerful torque to spin the electric generator. Mounted up to 35 feet high, in winds as low as 10 mph the Helix system creates electricity to power your home or business.


Sunforce 44444 12-Volt 400-Watt Wind Generator

How it works: As the wind blows the long helical blade scoops catch wind from all directions forcing it through the turbine. The turbine generator is connected directly to your home and as electricity is generated your home is powered. If the wind isn’t blowing your home is powered by the energy grid as usual. If the wind is blowing strongly then your energy produced can exceed your energy consumed and, depending on your local utility, your meter can spin backwards rolling back your energy bill
About Small Wind


Small wind energy systems are one of the fastest growing forms of customer-sited or “distributed” electric generation and one of the best energy investments for small businesses and homeowners.



Small (or “residential”) wind energy systems typically generate just enough power to meet the demands of a home, farm or small business. They range from 400 watts to 500 kilowatts or more and typically consist of a single turbine (vertical or horizontal). They can be significant power sources and have proven records of performance, even in locations with modest winds.



The success of the commercial wind industry has propelled significant advances in small turbine design, making these systems more reliable, quieter and safer than those introduced in past decades. And though most of the electricity they produce is used on-site, excess generation can be fed into distribution lines, strengthening the electric grid

Green Stock Picks



T. Boone Pickens and The "Pickens Plan" Could Make You Wealthy By Investing in Green Stocks - Wind Energy, VWS, SUZLON, CWP, BBW, GE, SI, FPL, ZOLT, OC, ABB, CPTC, ITC, NGG, PWR, GRH

T. Boone Pickens owns 40% of a company called Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ:CLNE). This is a company that provides natural gas for vehicle fleets in the U.S. and Canada. CLNE designs, builds, finances, and operates the fueling stations.



T. Boone Pickens owns 12% of Westport Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ:WPRT) a leading developer of environmental technologies that enable vehicles to operate on clean-burning alternative fuels.



WRPT works with global automotive leaders such as Cummins Inc., Ford, and BMW to incorporate their technologies into leading manufacturers engines and to explore future commercial opportunities for clean vehicles.



Pickens� new company, Mesa Water, has been buying up ground water rights in Roberts County, Texas - 200,000 acres in all. He says that over a 30-year period, he expects to make more than $1 billion on his investment of $75 million.



Many others are coming to the realization that water is too cheap. Hence, water rights are a great buy today.



As an individual investor, you can�t trade water rights very easily. But you can invest in a company that owns almost as much water as Pickens does � in actuality, the acre feet that this Company owns are more valuable than what Pickens purchased.



PICO Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ:PICO) together with its subsidiaries, engages in the ownership and development of real estate properties. It owns land and the related mineral rights and water rights in Nevada. The company is involved in water resource development business, such as developing new sources of water for water utilities, municipalities, developers, or industrial users. In addition, PICO Holdings engages in the acquisition and financing of businesses. It operates in the United States and Europe. The company was founded in 1981 and is based in La Jolla, California.



T. Boone Pickens thinks he'll earn $1 billion on his $76 million investment - or basically 13 times his money. PICO - already in this business, with substantial expertise and a portfolio of more valuable water rights - could do even better.

How to we get the Boone Pickens Plan to Work ?? !



How do we get it done?
The Pickens Plan is a bridge to the future — a blueprint to reduce foreign oil dependence by harnessing domestic energy alternatives, and buy us time to develop even greater new technologies.

Building new wind generation facilities and better utilizing our natural gas resources can replace more than one-third of our foreign oil imports in 10 years. But it will take leadership.

On January 20th, 2009, a new President will take office.

We're organizing behind the Pickens Plan now to ensure our voices will be heard by the next administration.

Together we can raise a call for change and set a new course for America's energy future in the first hundred days of the new presidency — breaking the hammerlock of foreign oil and building a new domestic energy future for America with a focus on sustainability.

You can start changing America's future today by supporting the Pickens Plan. Join now.

Boone Pickens Energy Plan !




I hope boone Pickens & others will be able to have congress and others wake up and get this plan in the works ASAP !! What are your thoughts ??
