A fine example of why we need to make smaller units more focused to ‘individual’ usage.

It decreases efficiency and dramatically increases the cost per kWh generated. If you make a turbine with a diameter of 1 m instead of 100 m, the power decreases 10 000 times. Smaller efficiency of the little generator would reduce it even more. It’s very uneconomical and looks terrible.

i’m pretty sure wind turbines have an auto shutoff when the wind speeds are too high. The shut off on this one obviously wasn’t working properly.

I seen this one on tv. They said the brakes on it were gone so it had no control. thus it became unsteady, hit its self tor a blade off and set the rest in play.
