   I’ve never heard a wind turbine that made anywhere near as much noise as Rush. And unlike Rush, WTG’s produce something useful.

   They have only …
   They have only built a small prototype for wind-tunnel tests. Its next step is to build a 12-foot diameter, 10-kilowatt system for field tests. The prototype is expected to be finished by the end of next year or early in 2010, with commercial wind turbines to follow. Eventually the company plans to make turbines as large as one megawatt, but is not yet taking orders.

   Great animation, …
   Great animation, nice modelling.
   No real data on size required for output comparable to say 1MW HAWT. And then materials=cost so for those big aerodynamic shrouds, howabout $/kW comparison?
   What about a real world demo? Am I too optimistic?

   Great demonstration. Yes jet engine technology will be useful for WT’s.

   If there is a place …
   If there is a place I can find a manufactured small scale model that is highly efficient and reliable I would probably just get that because anything I would build would probably not be as efficient since I don’t have the tools to make it perfect.(you can not achieve perfection but you know what I mean)

   I love it more …
   I love it more reliable more robust and more efficient! I know Batter is a word of opinion but this is BETTER BETTER BEST I have seen yet of course in my opinion. Safety isn’t a major concern of mine but yea its safer to. Then why don’t I build myself a small scale model for reliable power.

   Workerstar1… YES, …
   Workerstar1… YES, I am afraid you are correct. I can’t help but wonder why. What are they afraid of? Perhaps they don’t want to hear the truth that others have already told them of. Maybe they just want to be able to get their hands on any contact information they possibly can? Not certain, and I am also puzzled. Cheerio and Happy Christmas, Stan

    is it possible to place a smaller version directly behind, to utilise the faster flow of air form the larger front one?

    You’re just going to confuse Rush Limbaugh more. He thinks wind ‘turbines’ are noisy because they’re named similar to jet turbines.

    What a noob.
