The intensity of low speed wind turbine testing

[cenedywong]

Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing A wild and crazy day of testing an early version of the ART Turbine. If you look closely at the upper left , notice the anemometer slowly spinning.

This one is made from cold moulded cedar, over a pretty complex plywood skeleton. Not your average DYI project. Eventually we may sell a kit, but it's not our focus right now.

Thank you very much Kyle, I am proud, it has been fun, and I look forward to building many more. The good news is that it works very well (not this model, which worked ok but the model on my van in the other video's). I look forward to being the first VAWT company releasing peer reviewed test results, once I am ready.  If you want to stay in the loop subscribes as I will be linking to my results after I publish them.

That is the most beautiful energy creating device I have ever seen. I could see people wanting one, with no need for free electricity, even. You should be very proud.

The ART Turbine has quite a few advantages over conventional turbines. It is likely to have a better return on investment. It is silent, and we have not seen any evidence of bird or bat kills. We think because it's a large solid slower moving body that wildlife can avoid it more effectively. It is very tolerant of gusty turbulant winds, so is able to be placed in many locations that conventional turbines could not.

Pretty cool. So what are the advantages/disadvantages of surch turbine compared to 'standard' ones ?

Also it's quite hypnotizing.

Intense!
