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.

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

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.

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)

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