Hello, This is a neat development but as far as design goes it’s misguided. At WindEnergy7.com this is what I do for a living, help homeowners build and install wind/solar hybrid systems. Our professionally designed Do It Yourself kits are high tech, definitely the way to go. Anyway, if the turbine wasn’t an inefficient vertical design, it would power the whole thing. Vertical turbines are really inefficient and inferior. People think they are new. Patented in the 1930’s, vertical turbines have never worked well and that’s why no serious turbine guys mess with them. If they worked, utility companies would use them, but they don’t.

Heck, that hot air coming out of the vents of my Thinkpad could probably drive a turbine that could charge my iPhone
