  • ancient windturbine resurrected - for real? It does look like the topfigure of a totem, for shure! But tell, did You not invent it Yourself? Anyhow it´s beautiful and I like it !

  • Hi, if this is an ancient type of windmill, maybe You could be as kind to name the folks and times where it did come from? Has it been in use for some practical or spirituell purpose? I understand the tecnical function well enough and I am allways pleased to see something completely unknown or new to me. The way You present this it looks like a topfigure of a totem. It does not come from the american aborigines, does it? Maybe You made a joke on us (ancient windmill), never mind, I like it!

  • Funny, the only guy who says this is a bad idea is named cars and cigars. i loled

  • I know where I saw this. Now I remember where this idea came from. In the online role playing game, World of Warcraft, there is a town called Thunder Bluff, where totemic windmills like this turn silently, only they are not articulated. They hang straight down at all times, so there is no explanation for what force might be driving them. Perhaps it is circular air currents of the type that only occur in video games.

  • Or perhaps, themanyone, the air currents that come from ANY direction may be turning them. That's how a VAWT works.

  • which one? &:~)

  • Is this idea actually not in use anywhere yet???

  • I like the idea since it reminds of my invention, which I presume has been made sometime before during the historys experiments on wind power. Have not seen it anywhere on the net or elsewhere though. I can sense there is something to this idea.

    Don't forget to keep in touch if you develope this idea.

    I will start on prototype No.2 this week.

  • Looks nice. Probably also have some more possibilities with stacked sets of those blades.

  • Definitely. I would have to bend the cross members out of the way a little bit but it would work.
