What the hell? These things look cool.
If it makes noise I don’t want one near my house. Plus these turbines are ugly. Too much to maintain. Not cost effective.
your idea would be???
I agree. These things look amazing.
Wow, those are cool. It would be awesome to drive through a city 10 years from now and see something like that on every roof.
1 step closer to making those Arabs have to drink that oil instead of getting filthy rich off it.
Cranberries reference is always a winner.
it’s not the turning blades I want to see, but what comes out of it.
All that metal stuff just to get an output of 12v 10 watts at 50 miles per hour wind ???.
watch my tiny turbine now , at least it lights up something.
Now show us what your blades are generating please , but don’t give up just keep on experimenting.
Try reading up on the subject. Most thick crust geothermal sites have diminishing returns.
I love it but I still think it looks like a giant bird blender. Could it have nets to prevent birds trying to fly into it? Or do birds not fly into it?
My thoughts aswell. I think, acceptable spaced square lengths much like chicken wire could be used.
where do you get these numbers from?
I am always a fan of FREE energy!
That’s an interesting design and I like seeing all the different ideas. Looks like a big job to assemble and erect that on a rooftop. Thanks for sharing the video.
this wind turbine has no sharp edges nor a lot of mass and even in high speeds winds its designed no to move fast enough to kill a bird even if a that bird would fly into it.
This come from using sails and not blades like a normal turbine.
sweet Darwin theory in the real world. the dumb birds fly into it and the smart breed.
I love reading the comments on you tube. Man you guys make me laugh.
nice one
Yes, it can, and has been! Check out their site – there are several installations in downtown Chicago, as well as elsewhere.
@kharamaan several here in downtown portland.
This is not free energy. This is a bird blender. Keep that rotisserie hot and handy. Whoop howdy, we gonna have some spotted owl. Ha ha.
more art than science
These are much safer than the regular ones….
what’s the song’s name please!!??
@BrianAStier drillers go after oil
Linger by the Cranberries
