Quixote Wind Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

This is a video of the VAWT we are preparing for production. This is one of our latest prototypes. The turbine in the video has a generator with a resistive load - it is not 'freewheeling'. We still have a few electronics issues, but hope to be in limited production by early next year. For more information check our website www.quixotewind.com.

always someone trying to scam the world

Este sistema es muy poco eficiente. Más no puedo decir, pero hay mejores soluciones con el mismo rotor vertical.

Sorry, I always forget I am speaking to mortal man. Yes, my brain is many degrees above the absolute and as such cannot help but know truth when requested. I don't have to think, pure truth flows inside me like a waterfall. But when I do think it is about trying to simplify my words for the small human brain. Yes sorry for the mistake, it's natural, powerful gift to me, and a bad deal for others.

@IronHorsez88

instead being sarcastic you better use your brain to think about this issue.certainly you did not . or did you?

@slotinnn

I don't believe that is true- you never seen clouds move?! And they maintain their speed as the vawt accelerates. the theory of relativity says that as you talk more, your brain shrinks and the speed of light spatters around inside the closer to the source of gravity you get then aliens steal your breakfast many times over. The faster they move the more they shrink until they are just puny points of light.

I would look into building it out of carbon fiber, because it looks too heavy. Remember, light weight + aerodynamics = efficient

[utanja]

How much are you asking for the domain name?

[slotinnn]

you have cheated the speed of the vawt . it s obvious from the shaking camera and the clouds in the sky

interesting design
