Mr.Backer,Yours is a great and excelant design
I also had been working on non-conventional energy for last 16 years I also have a unique design of wind mill can produce more power bit different than yours shortly you will be hearing from me a video.

Please let me know if you are working on a VAWT. If you are, would you be interested in building them for sale. One of your videos seem to be you working on a promising Darrieus which has potential for our application. VAWTs may be less efficient than HAWTs but there are cost advantages in some application.

Yes, we are. This VAWT is primarily intended for our VAWT powered street lights in the first phase as the models we have tested are small in size - 200W to 500 W. We are not targetting the backyard market yet, which needs power in the range of 2kW to 10 kW.

But please let me know of your interest.

Thanks

massmegawatts dot com looks like it is outright fraud. they dont have any data to prove their claim that they produced anything in the past or they will produce any energy in the future

if it is a combined savonius/darrieus won't the savonius part impede the darrieus part in higher wind speed? (where the tip speed approaces wind speed).

That may be how it "self-regulates" in high speed winds.

(Don't know much about engineering/physics, just taking a guess.)
