How about making “erection” turbine design.. would it work too? ..lolmaomg! XPP

wow. so that’s what DNA does!

Are they still for sale by the other company? There was no mention of this when I left telephone messages and emails on their website.

some day I’ll know it all to

bought out by the big energy companies and put in a safe somewhere.

What part of 360000 years did you not understand. A lot can happen in this time. Knowledge can be lost. Out civilisation would not be the first to collapse.

why not by two of them an eliminate your power bill comepletely

I have tried several time to get in touch with this company. No answer or reply. I think the wind has gone from their sails

If it cuts the bill by half, then I want like 5 of them!

I **** the whole bird argument with wind power generation. Birds fly into windows too but I don’t see anyone arguing against windows. I’d love to see cities utilizing this technology. When are they going to get serious?

The catch for vertical turbines (not this one) is way different. They might be less efficient then the horizontal ones, but they can catch winds from several directions at ones. Studies conducted at universities in the US and EU have concluded that a helical, 3 blade, vertical turbine is the best option for a city enviorment were you have a lot of up and cross winds. We will end up with industrial horizontal turbines and vertical residential turbines. Nice vid.

This is a great concept by all means. To harvest any form of wind is always a great idea, but unlike the larger scale wind turbines, they have less RPM in the generator.
In the larger wind turbines, they have a large gear box that converts the rotations into many many more rotations in the generator. If that were to be worked into this somehow, that would be a great investment to make. =) I would put it on my house =))

these ones make electricity, thats whats new.. next retarded question.

Even tho small, it is still a step in the right direction.

I totally agree with the cap at the top idea. I was thinking the exact same thing as I was viewing the clip.

I like it too!

hahaha. good point “44R0Ndin”.

putting generators on things that spin is not new either you incompetent nincompoop
February 18th, 2009 at 5:12 am
actually there is alot of research in to generators that put out large currents at low RPMs while requiring larger amounts of torque in return for needing less RPM (no free lunch you know)
February 18th, 2009 at 6:00 am
they finally put a generator on one thats whats new you incompetent nincompoop

It seems like you could increase the production by adding a “cap” on the top that would capture a bit of pressure that is moving vertical up each trough. I build large kinetic art and I think this shape and movement is beautiful.

Keep up the good work ! ! !

This is a fraction of what we really have to do to be energy independent

Can’t see any sort of foil in this one – 20% efficiency max as opposed to the nearly 40% that comes from the traditional three blade horizontal axis turbine.
