Our turbines stand apart from anything else in the industry
with advantages no other turbine company can match!
RSI is a supplier of components for wind and other renewable energy (RE) systems. By harnessing the power of the sun, wind, and water, people around the planet are producing their own pollution-free power right at their own home or business. “Going Green” is a required "public appearance" for any company, government or school that will be moving forward in the next few years. What is your group doing to show that they care?
The WindGen will provide you with a return on your investment of 10 - 20% - tax-free each year - depending on your usage and wind resource. This is equivalent to a 14% - 28% return on a taxable investment! Compare that to 2% from a money market account, 5% from a long-term CD, or negative earnings from mutual funds over the last few years!
Most States and the Federal Government are sending out a clear message that “They want small wind turbines to help shore up our energy supply."
To summarize why our units are the best choice in small wind today:
Aesthetically appealing, the “Legacy Windmill Design” looks familiar to you and your neighbors.
Low start-up wind speed = 7 MPH and will continue to make 10KW of power even in gale force winds.
Incredibly quiet.
Construction and durability is unmatched = NO fiberglass or plastic parts.
Low maintenance and easy access to turbine head.
Grid tie systems are standard but grid independent systems are available.
The production plant has over 50 years of machine manufacturing.
Made in the windy mid-west.
Includes free standing 80’ tower with 25’ blade.
5 year warranty on all manufactured parts.
RSI’s unmatched support staff available when you need them to answer questions.
No permanent magnets and true sine wave power.
No FAA approval needed, unlike most of our competition.
Special Stealth/Concealed towers for dual use as telecom/cell antennas, towers, and wind-gen units.
Only the WindGen that is made to Military Specifications and is steel throughout, Others have fiberglass or plastic parts that can’t last. see photo to the left, of a unit only a few years old and lost its blade.

Controls for Extreme Severe Environments
Homes, farms, businesses, schools and even cities can produce their own power cost-effectively!
You watch it turn, not hear it turn! Lower blade speeds mean much lower noise (one of the leading complaints of three-blade systems).
Also, higher speed means higher friction (and therefore higher wear and maintenance concerns). The WindGen's lower rotation speed means a
unit that is more dependable with much lower maintenance and one that is actually pleasing to live with!
Dependable and Reliable
The WindGen’s use of induction generators is well proven worldwide to be more dependable and reliable. In fact this technology is
well-established and is commonly used in most of the larger wind farm turbines. Other small turbines use Permanent Magnets and small inverters.
“ON the Grid”, or “Off the Grid” WindGen is both!
The standard unit connects directly to the power grid, but the owner has many options.
The WindGen inverter is oversized to handle large wind change events, which are common. Other small turbines that are grid-tie only, have a very
small inverters. With WindGen the user can also add battery banks for going “off the grid” or just for more backup power (this option is built
into the standard unit so you can add later). Also, the WindGen can be used with other forms of backup power, like Solar or any type of gen/set.
High Wind? No problem!
All other wind units have to shut down to protect their rotor glass blades and gear boxes from runaway(which in high winds can result
in thrown blades or falling towers). The WindGen system has been thoroughly tested, and we stand behind our units. We know that rotor runaway is not an option.
The WindGen uses proven “windmill design” but still keeps producing power, even in high wind when others have to shut down.
WindGen's classic "Legacy Windmill Design" integrates nicely with any existing structures!
Protect Against Rising Utility Rates
Home owners and businesses have seen their electricity rates spike over the last 5 years. Utility bills are a significant portion of your monthly overhead. Large increases in electricity costs will effect the viability of your business. Installing your own WindGen turbine can reduce or eliminate your exposure to rising electricity rates. The portion of your usage that is generated on site will no longer be subject to increases in electricity rates, in fact you may be selling power back to the utility.
Reduce Operating Costs
A WindGen system can reduce or eliminate your home or business’s electric bill. Installing an on-site power WindGen system is equivalent to prepaying for 25-40 years of power at a fraction of the cost you are currently paying. The cost/unit of energy you are currently paying is probably already higher than what you would be paying with wind. As rates increase this difference will only increase, which will result in further savings over the life of the system.
Long Term Reliability & Low Maintenance Costs
The WindGen turbines operate reliably for long periods of time with virtually no maintenance. Once installed, the WindGen power system requires little or no maintenance, and will provide electricity cleanly and quietly for 25 to 40 years.

Oklahoma, as the song says, may be where “The wind comes sweeping down the plains”,
but that sweeping wind continues into Kansas and the panhandle of Texas.
