  1. l know families that have these as their maiin source of power, l don’t think they were meant for largescale power production.

  2. Eggbeaters have their drawbacks, but this is an interesting design.

  3. surely enough a nice unit, a turby spin off, unfortunately way to expensive and therefore economically not the way to go …

  4. 6 cents is cheap. do you live in BC?

    Also, a big problem where i live is that we have SUPER cheap power, 6c per KWH, and it’s clean (hydro) so wind power will never pick up here.

  6. I see your point. Maybe you can borrow the money from a bank. Interest rates are very low now.

  7. yes, but if i cannot afford a million dollars for a large one, i may be able to afford 10k to put on on my acreage, or 2k to put one on my house.

    Many power companes are now required to allow net metering, which makes the cost of micro wind generation lower since no batteries are required.

    For many of us, it’s an awesome option. While it’s not as efficient, it’s better than the nothing we can afford if large scale is the only other option.

  8. I do not believe that. The maintenance associated with micro wind far exceeds that of large turbine units.

  9. micro wind generation is the way of the future. We dont want it to work on a large scale.

  10. It’s a nice experiment but will never work on a large scale. The cross sectional area is just too small to generate any real amount of electricity.

  11. muhahahahaha :) ))

    That was funy

  12. Great design.

  13. i co dalej kreci sie ok ale w jaki sposob produkuje prad ile volt ,,?

  14. if i were a bird…. i wouldnt get close to it xD

  15. thats what i’v been saying all along.

  16. per annum of course

  17. I’ve got a few films tackling various issues on wind power…
    And please do pass the link around :)

  18. Might as well have them seperate. The two wouldn’t fit well together.

  19. Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) are just as efficient as horizontal wind turbines with aerodynamic performance coefficients up to 0.45, investigated by the DOE at Sandia Laboratories. Both horizontal and vertical turbines use aerodynamic lift to propel the turbine, just the rotation is in a different axis. Performance accounts for the torques imposed on the rotor so the sizes of the blades are unjustified. VAWTs are typically quieter, require less material to build and are equally efficient.

  20. home made wind turbine my friend….. home made…. magnets, wire, bearings.. and some knowledge and effort. makes it cheap

  21. why not a COMBO SOLAR /WIND GENERATOR?

    if we ever find a way to get rid of 98% of the human consumer – breeder-shitters we will save the eco system

  23. your energy bills will not go down if you owned of of these. You might not receive a monthly bill anymore, but you pay a big chunk when you install a turbine, which takes you about 6 – 10 years to recoup. Get used to the fact, that our energy bills will never go down. One of the biggest costs that were never taken in consideration was the price of destroyed eco-balance.

    Also, consider insulating your house. I don’t need any power for cooling our house!

  24. check out my wind power vids…

  25. Wind blows horizontal, to date the most efficient wind turbines are the horizontal type designs NOT the vertical or (helix type)shown here. Horiz. turbines have the most sweep area per blade diameter, thus creating the maximum torque at low wind speeds or higher. Helix or vertical wind turbines are the least efficient, in reguards to torque or useable power output! All of these other vertical turbine designs look nice (for show) but are impractical for any kind of sufficient power generation.
