I noticed that before the “cylinders” were perpendicular to the flow of air,they seemed to turn faster and then slowed down when totally upright - was this an optical illusion? Maybe mounting on a pivoting base at about a 45 degree angle would make it more efficient?

You live in Idaho? Near Idaho National Laboratory?! You bastard, what wouldn’t I give to go and work there…

well, not by government. there’s lots of technology out there that isnt being used because of polotics.

i got nothing wrong with air or nuclear reactor, but try and get that past the oil companies. they have been going on tv sayin the drop in gas prices is bad because there is less demand for oil, which is completely fine with me!
in idaho, we have probably 80-90% of electricty generated from by hydro electric or wind, so i think it could be applied everywhere

FAST BREEDER REACTORS, that’s the FUTURE, not wind.

We only have one solar panel company in Tulsa right now - he said wait until Jan due to incentives - I am going to drive the state legislature nutty too. T Boone Pickins should be working with these kinds of companies too - we have good wind here - and plenty of sun. GoeThermal works if you can afford the dig. Husband is talkingof putting 8 inc walls inside the house - envelope it.

I’m a witch, so it shouldn’t be surprising
Wind is a long over looked source of renewable energy and is coming into it’s own rapidly! And solar has damn near unlimited up side potential, both in direct electrical generation and as a source for hot water for personal use and home heating.
Another odd use is geo-thermal A/C, this all depends on the ambient soil temprature, Oklahoma may be too hot, but if not, it works like ‘magik’ LOL

Are you psychic or what? I just got some info from another youtube site on a Helix design from a private company in CA. Before I can buy one of these - I am going to drive the state crazy to give us rebates and incentives. I’ve got 2 acres - and the front field will be nothing more than a blackberry field for U-Pick operation and there’s so many trees edging of my property even my neighbors can’t complain. This design is similar. - Hugs Wolf. I am going to start with T. Boone Pickens.

They are far more adaptable to high turbulence areas such as cities. As to the efficiency differential, I wish I could help, but I would dare say that in turbulent areas, these are the ones you would want.

Free market or no free market, we must reward those who perseverance those technologies.

If you search google for “most efficent electrical wind turbine” you’ll find a vertical one, Tommorow it might change again as this field is catching wind and wings,
Do not forget what you learn today in school you will learn tommorow as history,
Its good to learn history that way, you should well know:
Inventions and progress is done lots of the times by swimming againts the stream and thinking differently.
I thought that hurricanes are the worst, they are vertical, also tornado’s!!!

do these ones generate more energy than regular ones.

People are going to have to stfu about appearance if they want to save the world. Seriously, some people..
March 21st, 2009 at 7:09 pm
how do these vertical ones work?
March 22nd, 2009 at 5:37 am
A couple of these in a hurricane could probably power my tv.

Everyone needs to accept that there are pros and cons to every form of electricity generation. However, the one criticism of wind generation that really kills me is that the turbines are ugly eyesores. It’s as though they should have the right to knock on someone’s door to tell them “your house is very unattractive, please demolish it and replace it with something more pleasing to my eye.”

i wanna buy these put up in my farm and a few near my house and supplement all the electricity. use it during rolling blackouts, for charging cars, charging appliances, may be watch the tv on it , run the washer, dryer, store it on batteries and do all of the above. i can’t believe how easy it was to put up, after which i think it should be fastened to the ground just for good measure.

Couldn’t this machine (or one like it) be positioned horizontally, and still revolve? I mean, couldn’t the wind move those same type of “blades” if they were horizontal?
March 29th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
But what if the wind changes direction? My understanding is that was the reason for the vertical design: it works with high turbulence urban landscapes. Also, the electrical parts can stay on the ground, making it easier to service.

Hi, can you provide some URL links bout the German system you describe. I am doing a research paper. My Civics teacher is for Nuclear power.
