  • This is no ...

    This is no invention at all ! It's already been engineered, sold and installed in Europe and America (vertically and horizontally). It is pricy indeed but it yields in the long run. Here are a few ones:

    123eoliennes

    I think it is a good idea and think that everybody should get their energy from wind power. Then our world would be a much cleaner place.

  • I must agree with ...

    I must agree with one of the earlier posters. Attaching a generator or alternator on it "SHOWING" it's capable of producing power would be a lot more impressive. Sgowing something simply moving in the wind is easy. Put a alternator or generator on it then show us the results.

    (that last post was supposed to be a reply to kode1303)
    I think its a great idea. and its not just a Savonius type rotor, its actually a horizontal form of Giromill, which is a far more efficient design. not only that, but if its mounted on a rooftop the roof will act as a wind collector, increasing the output even more.

    I've been living in Australia for a year now, and frankly - I can't wait to go home ... Most people who think OZ is great are aussies - I guess that's just how it is.

    The turbine is specifically not shown, as this piece comprises the crux of his invention. Take your foot out of your mouth, and your head out of your ass - because you're only going to be talking S**t from that position.
    P.S. We're from the same stock, dopey. Try visiting one day. I'm sure that the change of conditions from bleak, cold, and overcrowded, to warm sunshine and room to swing a cat will defrost that tiny little brain of yours.

    pésima ingeniería, además este tipo de generadores deben montarse en forma vertical para captar el viento en todas direcciones, un fiasco!!!

  • how poor! The ...

    how poor! The device hasn't even got a generator on it. It turns! that's not the same as generating power. Savonius type rotors (that's what this is) don't give anything like the power of propeller types. The local government who gave this money look like fools to fall for this idea. Makes you think Australians are a bit stupid.
