I want to see the inside of this one, wonder how the wires are fed, I hope they arn't spinning in there a 100000 miles and hour. but this looks like a great design, plus if you can get ducks to fly throught, you can eat free year round.

Looks like a bird shreadder!!

@tadnemakt1983 in fact it looks like a bird grinder, but it is much safer to birds, than traditional horizontal axis wind turbine...

[jcanistrum]

The projected peak power at 16m/s is: 8.5kW aerodynamic; 7.0kW DC; 6.5kW grid

4197 kWh at 5m/s to BWEA standards;

Up to 12,729 kWh at 7m/s

No reduction in power output at up to 40% turbulence intensity

It looks nice but, how much energy it produce? How is the efficiency? Thinking on a profile that moves headwind and at the same time tailwind...Don´t seems really efficient....

I liked the part when the wind turbine was spinning

Are vertical shaft turbines more quiet then the horizontal shaft ones? It definitely looks like it is spinning faster, but does it also generate more power then the horizontal shaft design?

[windturbinesinc]

I guess this type of wind turbine is safer compared to a turbine that has its blade spinning as the wind blows. Yes, it looks like a blender but with this design it is harmless to anything that is near on this device.

Love IT!!! California needs to invest more in Green Tech!!! Prop 23 is down in the polls, but the Yes on 23 campaign just got a new influx of hot, anonymous cash, so we'll need to fend them off in the home stretch to Election Day.

Hit me back if you'd like to talk Prop 23. We're coming out with a bunch of great No on Prop 23 videos soon!

Bird navigate many things like tree branches where many make there nests... I think they can easily fly by one of these without ramming into it... They do have eyes... What about all the fish killed by electric-hydro plants? Or all the HUMANS getting sick from SMOG! I would rather see a bird die then a HUMAN!! but then im not one that holds wild life over human life like some wacko's.. If you love animals so much stop eating them....

LOL yes GIANT bird blenders

Do you people realize how many Birds fly into house windows every year and kill or severely wound themselves? I think a bird is far more likely to fly into a freshly cleaned window then to fly into a loud spinning wind turbine (not that it doesn't happen, just making a big picture comparison here).
