Ed's 3 winger v2 is indeed a magnificent turbine.(The Lenz system was the base for our Hybrid.) As you know, the v2 has slight balance problems due to the violent impact on the drive wing.By building douzens of prototypes and hundreds of CFD s we came to the final Hybrid (more power & 100 % balance).The claims on 90% eff is not correct !!! We had almost 95% eff , but only for a very short momentum.( a few seconds at 81/82 RPM) The smoothed !!!!!!!!!! and real eff of the Hybrid is 56%
I've built some lenz2 turbines and have nothing but praise for the design, the original 3 wing design gains additional thrust on the rear of the sail as the wind passes through the turbine. By tweeking sail and rotational diameters and sail angle, I have heard claims of as high as 90% efficiancy.
Great to see more sails creating more interesting dynamics, good luck with your development.

Super work, what are using for a test load?
