Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Helix (VAWT)

[bisnonnocanapa]

i see that its noise problem is made by the high rpm! slowing the thing down by redesign the blades should reduce or solve it

[ndchevy]

$75500?? That's all?? A regular turbine is around $120000 just for the blades

[hemlockww]

that doesnt look dangerous at all

Is there a pile of dead birds under it ?

I purchased a Helix Wind Turbind last September and to date it has not worked as advertized. It is so noisy that my neighbors have complained to the homeowners association. Helix Wind improperly installed the unit and they have now walked away. Dont buy Helix Wind!!!!!

im retired and already have a year of priority work ahead. ok that doesnt sound retired, but my projects are much bigger

than most mens.

@manvilletrain i did, and i dont belive a fabricater can get that much for one. unless the US goverment is buying them for a remote outpost.

@manvilletrain i google used turbine and found 35 150 kilowat used 15 years old for 55 thousand dollars each so if this one is 75000 thats just nuts i dont believe it.
