I discovered this video online and comments were not enabled so thought i would post it here and get some input. They claim it is 5000 watt capable at low wind speeds and power up high powered tools to prove it works. What has me skeptical is the large covered bottom on this which could conceal batteries this thing could not possibly keep charged. Also the camera never shows the back of this thing which could hide power lines going into the garage...while i would love to believe this does what they claim, my alarm bells say....i know it could be making hundreds of watts, but thousands?

  • my skepticism was in this units ability to recharge those batteries in a reasonable amount of time. I have no doubts there are batteries in it capable of supporting 5000 watt output.

  • My Opinon...If it was really as efficient as they say, I would be very impressed. However a couple car batteries and a 5000watt inverter would do the same thing. Not saying its faked, but that the turbine is charging batteries and the batteries are doing the work...nothing special really

  • @HobbyVAWT guess there is no way to know unless there is a meter showing generator capability. Like you said, no matter what it is generating, it is likely charging the batteries. But then, a standard phone line can charge batteries, if you can wait long enough.

  • and then you stick your arm in there....

  • Look at those fabric guide vane panels. You can see the fabric doesn't move at all. Where's the wind?

  • this proves nothing

  • it might be capable realistically of 100 watts in a storm

  • I like the turbine design, Except fot the lovers that are added on. I wonder how effective it would be without them, My thoughts are it might produce 500-750 watts.

  • It is possible with a generator and battery bank
