"Uses a motor to turn..." FAIL

[MaN1aC666]

can't they put a screen over it to protect birds and bats?

@pmaura , you have to have a properly grounded lightning rod to have any electricity in your home

[mostenan]

@leamyvideo sorry, i dasagree with you

[WormsEatMyGarbage]

For this to be succesfull it needs to be afordable . Plus i dont think most towns would alow them on peoples roofs they are ugly. Why does it cost 3 grand to install ?

[stoneunhenged]

I always love it when people complain about the price of high tech products but have no clue how much it costs to R&D this kind of stuff. Millions of dollars were spent developing and perfecting this wind turbine. Rather than whine, if you're so smart you go build a wind turbine that meets the same performance standards and sell it for thousands less. I'm not holding my breath waiting for you to deliver.

P.S. Anyone who starts a sentence with "dude" is probably not getting it.

Dude! any plans of selling anything the average person can afford?

[argusceo]

pmaura - a properly grounded lighting rod would be a good idea to mount, just as you would on a rooftop antenna.

[pmaura]

if anyone could answer this ? What about lighting strikes on this thing. I see that as a huge downside
