Helical (twisted) Vertical Axis ( VAWT ) 6kW Wind Turbine. This particular turbine costs a ridiculous AUD$75,500 installed and would take 75 years to pay for itself, but I'm sure it could be built ALOT cheaper by any skilled fabricator.

  • i see that its noise problem is made by the high rpm! slowing the thing down by redesign the blades should reduce or solve it

  • $75500?? That's all?? A regular turbine is around $120000 just for the blades

  • that doesnt look dangerous at all

  • Is there a pile of dead birds under it ?

  • I purchased a Helix Wind Turbind last September and to date it has not worked as advertized. It is so noisy that my neighbors have complained to the homeowners association. Helix Wind improperly installed the unit and they have now walked away. Dont buy Helix Wind!!!!!

  • sweet,btw I like yur pic.

  • @manvilletrain i google used turbine and found 35 150 kilowat used 15 years old for 55 thousand dollars each so if this one is 75000 thats just nuts i dont believe it.

  • its a shame it cost so much, now i have to buy a welder an build it myself next year

    im retired and already have a year of priority work ahead. ok that doesnt sound retired, but my projects are much bigger

    than most mens.

  • one good bird hit and that thing is toast.
