No offence intended, it looks quite good to pump water but this has a lot of disadvantage over more conventional designes. You should try to understand 'whats in the box' before you try to reinvent very old/inefficient ideas. This wont work very well for generating electricity compared to more modern/conventional ideas.

No offense taken. I don't know "what's in the box," unless you mean the big propellers. I am not an inventor or a re-inventor. Although the Whirligig is extremely inefficient in its present configuration--I suspect that with a little streamlining and engineering, it could become a great generator of electricity. I think a production model will look something like a giant pelton wheel. I am still working on it, and plan to post a sequel soon.
