If proper studies were done ahead of time, bird death should be non-existent. They have built a wind farm along a bird migration route here in Sweden. There are 12 turbines that 1.5 million birds pass through each year. They found one bird death between 1999-2003. And they monitor it by sight and by radar at night.
I think a investigation of wind turbines like this on a larger scale needs to happen, I have seen the one at the botanical garden in high winds its a little noisy and wobbly, But it does not give shadows like traditional wind turbines, so on a larger scale something of this nature could be a really good solution, and if its at the botanic garden it’s got the attention of the US government.
Power can be stored as hot water or by charging batteries. I didn’t use the link to see the website, but it’s normal logic thinking based on ordinary media information
New type fridges and washers use a fraction of the old style. The challenge is energy storage unless you have a contract with your power company to sell when you have too much and get some of theirs when not. And, wind is available at night as well unless your wind systems are solely anabatic/catabatic. A 3 kw wind turbine combined with some solar voltaic and maybe some geo-thermal will make you totally independent of your current energy providers.
wind fan+ small generator=electricity
if you live in the windy area, it will produce the electricity 24 hours none stop , you pay no electricity bill and you can also sell the the extra electricity to electric company, it depend on how many wind turbine you have it. just like money maker machine in your back yard.
This wind generator could never make enough electricity to power the average home.
Look the test results up at NREL 100 kWhours in a year. The average home uses 100 times that amount not to mention the machine fell apart and the test couldn’t even be finished!
that thing is junk and is to noisey!
and they do die all the time , flying into these turbines!!
this one is no exception!!

that would suck if a bird flew into the blades
Interesting.
Does anyone know what wind speed is required for 1.2Kwh? Completed (installed) cost? How would this unit compare to the Whisper?
It got to be as effective as it claim in generating power. It does looks promising.
it seems to be a very effective piece of technology. It is cost effective and will ultimately, decrease our dependency on fuel. Let’s do it!

This is the way it SHOULD be done, vs. desecrating and industrializing so many scenic landscapes.
it’s called wind
does the wind stop blowing at night where you live?
Love to have a vertical wind turbine. Check out OIL SPILL ELIMINATOR on You Tube

I built my own Wind Turbine for UNDER $100 that is currently powering my 1600 Square Foot Home using the plans at:

I’m all for wind power!
DarthTanner,
At night, get energy from the turbine? What the heck are you talking about?
the turbine?
And where do you get electricity from at night?

Hmmm let me guess…by simply adding more magnets and or coils or a bigger alternator = more power

Aww man, not good for suburban environment!? Count me out!
I like the idea but unfortuanitly it will be a waste of money not unless thiers a lot of wind and theirs like a small caravan to power
wow that was the gayest thing i have ever seen on my entire life..
