  • Well if you look at the wind mill, this has already been done befor. Back in the late 1800s.

  • with that accent, it has got to be a scam!

  • Interesting design with some benefits and I like the technology, but as long as the wind is free you can just enlargen the diameter of a traditional cheaper windgenerator a little bit to get the same amount of energy out.

  • will ham birds

  • Show us some numbers. How many watts will this turbine produce with x wind compared to a conventional turbine with the same swept area? The same cost?

  • This... sounds vaguely plausible, but it's packaged like get-rich-quick pseudoscience.

  • No way, this teletubbies speakers are not match for turbine wings. 

  • Cost, price. yeah yeah, we get the technology.

    price, we want to see at LEAST estimated costs. per unit, otherwise its wasting our time. if its cost effective, you could show it.

  • How to talk in an american commercial; Sit on a dildo.

  • does this one hack up birds & bats too?

  • it's also a great PA system's. buy now on Eaby's!!!

  • oooo.. yes that is what i talking about

  • cost?

    

  • And - here is my eternal question about these things... What about freezing rain? I live in the midwest, and we have freezing rain dozens of times per year. I understand if ice buildup simply STOPS the turbines... but, it often RUINS them completely. So - when you need energy the MOST (during a winter, high-wind storm - when power often goes out), is this thing going to be just an expensive popsicle in the yard?

  • Might be more credible if the photos were ACTUAL photos, rather than computer simulations. It's ridiculous to show an animation of a product in a real setting - that's called "theory". A real product, actually installed and producing, is worth a thousand drawings.

  • ok so this diffusor syetm can increase the wind by 40% as posted on another video from 30 MPH to 42 inside the diffusor. Can we see this shown in a real world set up with all the data exposed? All wind turbines look great in a commercial or just spinning. Please take the guess work out of our asssumptions for us. show us a real site with all the data.

    Thanks

  • First impression of the video.... very high premium.... very expensive..

  • One man. One wind turbine. And a date with destiny. Wind Turbine 4: The Efficiency coming to a theater near you.

  • Looks as though the aiming function would be passive and so very reliable.

  • music sucks

  • they look like something straight out of teletubies :D

  • from ronco!

  • now we just need the wind

  • patent troll!!!!!

  • MAKE A REAL BIG ONE.

  • show actual video. all I already watch several turbines like that and all are animation. that is just a scam.

  • yah, annoying voice, no real product showing, not even on their website. NO price. 'contact for quote' yah, we don't think so.

  • I am sceptical

  • @MsH1h1h1h1 I think it would work (they would have made a small proto) but why don't they show that working (even if it looks bodgy).

  • the system mentioned below should be safe for birds as the danger of injury is at high speeds and only stupid birds would fly in a hurricane like only stupid people build the crap above

  • there are better ways to multiply wind energy like multiple blades on one shaft as many as ten on a shaft would spin and create energy starting at 5 mph and with a 45 degree slow rotation speed could work at hurricane speeds using all ranges of speeds to collect energy too much high teck bulsh*t to solve a simple problem directional considerations handled with movable shaft to angle to allow wind to hit all blades most areas have pervailing winds this also good for low to ground use

  • Wait a minute, is the energy extraction efficiency rating attributed to the size of the turning turbine part, or the diameter of the large back side?

  • lozl. no.

  • Dont forget. O please dont forget. THAT ONLY OIL and brane washing SHIT HAVE MONEY to BUY ACTOR WITH GAY VOISE TO FORCE U TO BUY THIS 1KG Of SHIT.

    most of tiner corporations dont have any money for that shot

  • what a sleazy narrator!! What does it say about your product?

  • pretty sure it was a British inventor to exploit the venturi effect in his designs.

  • i have to work a life to buy this widt turbine,and even a life is not enough

  • winetamer keg´s. More efficient. Ask Amy WineHouse.  She got one good. ......

  • LOL @ breaking the Betz Limit

  • Comment removed

  • this is really fascinating ;)

  • You would impress more people with the benefits of your product's if you had a different narrator. This guy sounds like he's promoting a scam product or a sleazy porno movie.

  • @markhinr you are sooo right!!!! put a younger voice

    cheers

  • i like it, but am i in like with it...

  • The voice is like he's promoting Rockt VII..

  • A divergent duct increases pressure so how does it make a vacuum? That's why ram jets have a more narrow intake than the combustion section; to increase the compression of the incoming air. Lol in fact the point of highest pressure in a jet engine is called a diffuser!

  • @unambitious It should be reversed, ..... The intake should be the exhaust and the exhaust the intake.

  • uhh... first off, it looks like that would chop birds to bits. Second, if youre only counting the front of the turbine as aperture area towards that 59 percent, thats dishonest. You have to count the area at the exit of the thing.

  • hate that stupid american accent

  • @futureboy00 the funny thing is NO ONE talks like that. It's called the TV accent because that accent doesnt exist. Seth McFarland(family guy) uses this fake radio/tv voice too.

  • @futureboy00 I assure you, it is not an American accent, it's just weird.

  • @TheRekcabOfTheD oh, ok... sorry

  • @futureboy00 americans dont sound like this...

  • Ha! I have had made drawlings of both positive and Negative turbines before, what do you thing a jet engine is... I have a even better ventury design, best I have seen, want to buy it? hehehee!

  • that is bigger anf more ulgy

    need to make neater who wants to see a landscape fill of thease turbines

  • that is bigger anf more ulgy

  • Q. ! It creates 2 vacuum zones? how? Why it simply doesn't use VENTURI effect to increase the speed of the flux ? tnx.

  • Efficiency on a wind turbine is related to the area of the wind turbine and he probably did not used the area of the diffuser just the area of the blade.

  • Can't help but notice it doesn't mention just how efficient this design is.

  • Great Idea! This combine with a solar system will be a good source of clean energy for your home and Business. Instead of solar panels I rather have this on the side of my house...

  • Seem that someone have problem with mathematics.

    if you convert all that useless shell into wings you can produce huge turbine which will generate way more energy that this tiny toy.

  • @deltaxcd thats a realy good point.....its just another person trying to come up with something new from old tech just so they can patent it, then try to sell it as being better then the proven simplest form. plus if you look at what he want to charge for one, your point hits home even more....

  • douchebag voice-over!

  • Make the rear exterior shell to look like a Flower & paint it up like one :)

    It would make people smile & be much more ascetically pleasing :)

  • @WulfBand Nope, a badminton shuttlecock.

  • The us army has one.

  • The should make a do a build it yourself model for home's. On my roof is a good place.te set a couple.

    But what will it cost me ?

  • Yeah, that's attractive.

  • Soooo ...where is the "real" turbines ...??

  • I bet they comparitavly cost more

  • What is the "efficiency" of your design with respect to the kinetic energy of the wind held in the area of the shroud? Sure the rotor may be relatively small but the shroud diameter MUST be on par with a conventional HAWT rotor diameter to produce the same power. The Betz limit for shrouded wind turbines is defined by the maximum area of the shroud, not the swept area of the rotor. No physical law is broken, per the narrators clams, only a misleading explanation of the law is given.

  • Comment removed

  • A another 'invention' that will break Betz. Show me real wind tunnel data that shows it even comes close to Betz.  Does a real one even exist? All I see is solid models.

  • I wish you good luck!

  • so what do conventional turbunes produce in MW/hour and what do these produce in MW/hour? . Whatever it seems revolutionary are a step in the right direction
