Mag wind turbine

I think there are great applications for this design. What I question is the need to make the "tines" or "blades" out of metal. If recycled material, like laundry soap bottle were used, would the cost gow down? Further, I am working on a business plan to set these up in a hedge-row configuration along farm and ranch land for areas in Western Minnesota, North and South Dakota. Additional revenue for farmers who can apply for the federal tax credits. Of course, if these can be mass produced?

I suppose your right. each person(from the turbine aspect anyway)is only looking at about $2,000 a piece... which will pay for itself in about 3-4 years. The turbines have a 30 year warranty. I believe most potential homeowners will likely fall in love with there homes and there community, and stay plenty long enough to reap years worth of rewards.

one will be mounted on top of a old grain silo with a roof system that will help channel more wind to the turbine. the other will be on a pillar near the river, the site lies next to a river. they produce 10 KWh a piece. they cost $60,000 a piece before install. ROI timeline was not a main concern of ours... the earths current state is however.
