It looks nice but, how much energy it produce? How is the efficiency? Thinking on a profile that moves headwind and at the same time tailwind...Don´t seems really efficient....
Are vertical shaft turbines more quiet then the horizontal shaft ones? It definitely looks like it is spinning faster, but does it also generate more power then the horizontal shaft design?
I guess this type of wind turbine is safer compared to a turbine that has its blade spinning as the wind blows. Yes, it looks like a blender but with this design it is harmless to anything that is near on this device.
Love IT!!! California needs to invest more in Green Tech!!! Prop 23 is down in the polls, but the Yes on 23 campaign just got a new influx of hot, anonymous cash, so we'll need to fend them off in the home stretch to Election Day.

Bird navigate many things like tree branches where many make there nests... I think they can easily fly by one of these without ramming into it... They do have eyes... What about all the fish killed by electric-hydro plants? Or all the HUMANS getting sick from SMOG! I would rather see a bird die then a HUMAN!! but then im not one that holds wild life over human life like some wacko's.. If you love animals so much stop eating them....
Do you people realize how many Birds fly into house windows every year and kill or severely wound themselves? I think a bird is far more likely to fly into a freshly cleaned window then to fly into a loud spinning wind turbine (not that it doesn't happen, just making a big picture comparison here).
What are you people so worried about birds for? Yes, if one gets caught. that's a tragedy. Okay, so we get rid of all the wind-turbines. What would you prefer? Nuclear power? Coal? Gasoline? Birds aren't so stupid as to see a dangerous, spinning object and fly right into it you know. Some people are just impossible.
Bird blender , .... pretty good. We had a plate glass sliding door that was a real bird killer. The birds kept flying into it so often that the neighbor's cat would wait around to snatch up the victums.
Had to paint pair of big eyes on the door to give the birds a chance to pull out and miss smashing into the glass.
Poor little guys.
Really nice looking turbine, how can you buy / lease one?
Don't you think that the guys who managed to convert the wind into power to generate energy for our homes are just genius heroes! We need more of these people for our future! Not to mention that these high tech sculptures add a lot to the urban landscape as functional art!
@MrSattn before you pat them on the back this was done one hundred years ago. only thing oil was so cheap you would have been nuts to use something so unreliable as wind. now with the grid system in place, it makes perfect sense
Dont get me wrong, im an environmentalist and anyone who thinks that yellowcake or oil is good is clearly not the brightest pea in the pod. But this really looks like something I have in my kitchen!
@markkragh do you think dead birds are on the ground. dont you think if these could harvest the sky of birds they might have been used as traps years ago world wide? or, do you just not think.
datzfast, good point. Like I said, I am all for windpower and I am sure that any road in the UK kills more birds then a windmill. This also looks cool as MrSattn point out - But it still looks like a blender :)
@markkragh yes it looks like a blender but for its weight, i bet the power is greater than other designs. some times weight is critical such as on roof top additions. why roof top additions? my flat roof is 32 feet off the ground and the wind speed i estimate is double that on the ground. but i have made no decision as yet.
Birds are the most sophisticated flying thing here on earth! It will not crash in to it ! Brainless insect! How about test it for yourself.Crash in to it ! phaze44x ! Stupid !!!
False. That is exactly the kind of turbine the kills birds. The blades turn so fast they blur. Maybe this type of turbine could be scaled up so it turns more slowly.
That's truly amazing! I slashed my electric bill in half! look here: gdolim8.wspower4.hop.clickbank. net/?tid=yt (delete the space before 'net' when your pasting it in your browser)

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.
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.
Global warming is part of the problem, but look at all the things we depend on that are made from petroleum: plastics, lubricants, fertilizers, medicines, asphalt, waterproofing, etc.
Burning the precious stuff to make electricity and push cars is foolish, when there are so many other ways to that.
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!
how many kilowatt per average household, a large fridge+computer+TV+2,000 square foot air condition coverage+florescent lights+ electric stoves and microwaves oven, consume per day vs per wind turbine generate per day, anyone ever calculate the details?
between 30kW and 100kW per day. If you have gas stove, and water heat.... and gas furnace forced air heat.... you might be around 20kW to 40kW depending on the other usage of your home.
You might be Christian but you are a DECAF CHristian and there is no room for that. Homosex and environmentalism are taking over and all you can do is sit there and say "its not nice to talk for God"?

As a Christian and a Republican, wind power is destructive to our normal energy companies because who will buy the power if everybody uses this? And it is a slap in the face to all the soldiers fighting in the middle east so we can get oil and make gasoline and electricity. Shame on you people!

You think this is funny? When the stock market drops daily and people are laid off because we can't stand behind our own nation to finish this war because the liberal agenda is trying to derail it with "all we need is oil alternatives and we wouldn't need this war", you think it's all fun and games? What about the parents of fighting men and women who are told their kids died because our nation refuses to put aside it's environmental agendas and support the troops?
Don't worry latte, the us economy has been in resession for quite a while now mostly because of american bloodlust and greed. Any iraq oil profits they squeeze out will diminish once iraqi fighters attack your homeland in retribution for a greedy war.
If you don't like the idea of dying in a fruitless war, study hard and do well in school and you won't be forced to do the only thing left for the lower intelligence percentile... join the forces. I support the troops just not the war, don't confuse the two, you are as bad as bush. And lets face it he is an idiot.

How old are you? I'm old enough to have served in wars fought before desert storm. That is why I know GOD and not a bunch of late 1990s psychobabble about "the environment" which God created to take care of itself without our help.
If we lived as god wanted us to and lived and acted on good morals the planet God created could then and only then heal itself as God intended. Since we live on pride and selfishness and dishonesty the planet is in need of us to undo the harm we have caused it. God created us not with the intention to be so destructive.
So you think jobs and corporate activity is selfish. What about not having children? Dont you think homosexuals are selfish for that? No babies = no soldiers to defend us from islamic takeover.
then if you fought for this nation, you fought for the freedoms of all the people, meening you have no right to say what people should do, evryone has the right to live as they want even as the stewards of the earth, and the eco movment has help to keep noah legacy alive by assuring the survival of endagered species, creatures that man would destroy for our own benifit
yes thats one speices of wackoos we all can afford to loose, that and muslims, thought the treehuggers wont shed a tear when you really become an endagered species, that meen we'll be winning
It's your choice to be "christian". though from what I read, you are judging other people and that is something only reserved for your 'God'. take a chill pill, actually READ the book, and worry about yourself. There's nothing wrong about being gay or caring about the environment.
to latteliberal...the U.S. imports TWICE as much oil as it did in 1973.Twice as many US dollars going to foreign regimes that don't give two s---- about the Bill of Rights(freedom of religion) or the Constitution.National security,sovereignty,economy and ecology all depend on clean renewable energy.Renewable energy from domestic sources is as PATRIOTIC as it gets.
Excuse me for thinking. But if we get thousands (maybe hundreds of millions) of wind turbines up and running all over the planet (especially in windy areas, are we not going to change the weather patterns. I mean, we are moving energy from the atmosphere and converting it to another form of energy. The energy is not destroyed, its simlpy moved. So, if we move billions upon billlions of units of energy from the weather system, don't you think that will change the weather?
Fewer than 1 bird in 10,000 is killed by a wind turbine. Biggest bird killers are buildings/plate glass, motor vehicles and house cats, in that order.
keep in mind the more of these are produced the more the price will go down. If they were being produced on a massive scale one day the price would go down at least ten times. Plus you wouldn't need a big one like that for your house.
kWh is a unit of energy and kW is a unit of power. 8000 kWh/year works out to about 0.91 kW, so if that really is the yearly energy consumption you might be able to get away with using only one of these. Of course, you have to have appreciable wind speed in the area you want (6 m/s = 13.4 mph, a pretty good bit of wind), an unobstructed place to put it, and neighbors and planning board that don't mind a good-sized wind turbine.
now if I were a private party purchasing one of these, would I require maintenance from your company and if so, every how many years would it need to be lubricated, parts changed. Also the high pitch noise I can hear, has its spectrum been analyzed for correlation with known insect or bird chants ?
tax the peasants?..lol the peasants or poor do not pay income taxes, as a matter of fact they get paid money thats not theirs...it was stolen from others and given to them by the government.
radioactive half-life can be attained in 30 days now.
nuclear power plants would not have to dispose of the spent fuel - if that lib loser Pres. Carter hadn't created law making it illegal to reprocess nuclear waste.
Nuclear power is the most natural power source in the universe...our sun and even planet earth produce heat from nuclear power, the sooner we crack fusion as in we get more energy out then we put in (I'm not talking over unity here) the better... all this renewable crap which is susceptible to mechanical weakening and thus dangerous to the public just won't cut.
People are willing to say nuclear is safe but are they willing to live downstream from one. No one is going to want to live near the nuclear power plant hmmm wonder why? oh wait its because they are dangerous. safe? no dangerous. If you think it safe by all means move next to one with your family K? Then come back & tell us about in a few years.
Just one word for you Mr. nuclear nincompoop "chernobyl"
OH Yea nuclear is SOOooo Safe. NOT! Did somebody beat you with an idiot stick or did you get too many RADS working at 3 mile Island? The rubish you are pushing about nuclear being natural is nothing lass than high level radioactive waste!
like it or not it's nuclear power thats causing that turbine to spin in the above video...Nuclear power generated by the sun which in turn heats our atmosphere.
I think you should re-read my post below, I did not say nuclear Fission was ''safe''. I was referring to nuclear FUSION which produces no radioactive waste just helium and a neutron. oh and it's spelled less, not ''lass'' and rubbish, not ''rubish''.
I assume thats a joke? but just in case it is not, the shuttle uses around 4 million lbs of fuel to get into orbit.The fuel alone weighs over 26 times what the shuttle does by itself.I also assume you brought up Air Force One because Bush fly's on it? Every president has flown on it..what does that have to do with Al gores power usage.
And in case people get too worried about birds getting killed, they could put fine cages around the turbines. Would slightly reduce efficiency, but take arguments out of a redneck's mouth.
You guys are either government employees who get paid to post gob shite on you tube or you are F***ing stupid. Nuclear waste is produced by plants, and wind energy is safe and natural
actually thorium nuclear power plants which are in the pipework for the future will be much more environmentally friendly and won't produce any weapons grade plutonium either...of course Fusion power would be great but that is just not viable yet.
I dont get it? ive seen alot of these wind turbine vids and people keep going on about bird killers?? the people that put these things up are not bird hunters but people who care about the environment the same environment the birds live in!! im on the motorway alot!! and ive seen so many birds get hit buy cars,trucks, even motocycles lets save a few birds get rid of turbines and build a nice bird safe nuclear power plant instead is that what you want BLOODY DUCK SQUEEZERS!!
100% Agree with what you just said. As members of the highest part of the food chain , and also as members of the animal society that single handedly doomed mother earth, wee have the responsibility to do everything "humanly" possible to try and reverse what we have done with all these carbon emissions. If that means we have to kill a few birds. Oh well, 146,00 humans die every day. I'm not worried about some birds.
Very interesting design... And...bird shredder? If birds couldn't hear this and avoid it, they wouldn't avoid large mirrored (nearly invisible) buildings, and we'd have piles of dead birds around them. I don't think we have evidence that turbines kill LOTS of birds. A few, maybe, but buildings kill a few.
Darries wind turbines do kill birds. I made one of of them. Though this is quite small any harm to these turbines is small. Large scale commercial turbines have a bad gyroscopic procession. They suck birds in like no tomorrow, horizontal axis turbines these days are very good on low impact.
Don't forget to add in the entire package ..i.e. - environmental effects of creating the items to make the machine which provides "clean" energy. Is it clean if the process to make its components are hazardous to the environment? people forget that, especially when they go out and buy a Hybrid car...
You can here this, but its a quiet swishing, and a lot quieter than a horizontal axis. To the gentleman who said it was expensive... these are quite large! not domestic sized. 9600kwhr averaged over a year is a very good yield.
The turbine is rated at 6kW and will have an expected output of 9600 kWh per year at an average annual wind speed of 5.8 m/s will provide 10% of the energy for a 600 m2 offi ce building.
The projected peak power at 16m/s is: 8.5kW aerodynamic; 7.0kW DC; 6.5kW grid
4197 kWh at 5m/s to BWEA standards;
Up to 12,729 kWh at 7m/s
No reduction in power output at up to 40% turbulence intensity

The smaller turbines necessarily have to turn at a higher RPM. The high RPMs chop up the birdies. Not that I really care.

check out my wind power vids...
windpowerrocks 3 years ago
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.
mechtech2004 3 years ago
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.

Global warming is part of the problem, but look at all the things we depend on that are made from petroleum: plastics, lubricants, fertilizers, medicines, asphalt, waterproofing, etc.
Burning the precious stuff to make electricity and push cars is foolish, when there are so many other ways to that.

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!

between 30kW and 100kW per day. If you have gas stove, and water heat.... and gas furnace forced air heat.... you might be around 20kW to 40kW depending on the other usage of your home.

Excuse me for thinking. But if we get thousands (maybe hundreds of millions) of wind turbines up and running all over the planet (especially in windy areas, are we not going to change the weather patterns. I mean, we are moving energy from the atmosphere and converting it to another form of energy. The energy is not destroyed, its simlpy moved. So, if we move billions upon billlions of units of energy from the weather system, don't you think that will change the weather?

kWh is a unit of energy and kW is a unit of power. 8000 kWh/year works out to about 0.91 kW, so if that really is the yearly energy consumption you might be able to get away with using only one of these. Of course, you have to have appreciable wind speed in the area you want (6 m/s = 13.4 mph, a pretty good bit of wind), an unobstructed place to put it, and neighbors and planning board that don't mind a good-sized wind turbine.

As members of the highest part of the food chain , and also as members of the animal society that single handedly doomed mother earth, wee have the responsibility to do everything "humanly" possible to try and reverse what we have done with all these carbon emissions. If that means we have to kill a few birds. Oh well, 146,00 humans die every day. I'm not worried about some birds.

Very interesting design... And...bird shredder? If birds couldn't hear this and avoid it, they wouldn't avoid large mirrored (nearly invisible) buildings, and we'd have piles of dead birds around them. I don't think we have evidence that turbines kill LOTS of birds. A few, maybe, but buildings kill a few.

Darries wind turbines do kill birds. I made one of of them. Though this is quite small any harm to these turbines is small. Large scale commercial turbines have a bad gyroscopic procession. They suck birds in like no tomorrow, horizontal axis turbines these days are very good on low impact.
