i agree with …
i agree with picklers. plus if you have seen a 10 Kw standard turbine? Not very big. And it can easily power an average house.
Slow down…..Have …
Slow down…..Have had the patents since 2003 and they still don’t have a 10 kw model…..BOOOO!!!!
More over in 6 years they only produced 1 working model…That just plain ridiculous, way to find a promising idea and than lock it up so no one else can try it out.
I am less than impressed.
This 10 KW is with …
This 10 KW is with a very optimistic efficiency of 60% and a windspeed of 50 Km / h, not so?

TO be honest, that …
TO be honest, that vortex looks like it could make a tornado. ( if the turbine was smaller and there where differences between the too airs [colder or hotter ] ). But we could use the vertex that is made to make another energy producing system.. The prototype looks really good and all but i bet that the price is not really, attractive.
Although this is an …
Although this is an impressive animation, WindTamer Corporation owns the patents and patents pending for this technology (patent granted in December 2003), and WindTamer® Turbines are being embled and put into service. The first one is up now at a residence in Perry, New York, and WindTamer Corporation staff are at WindPower 2009 in Chicago this week. Strategic partnerships are being formed all over the world as a great idea—a better mousetrap, if you will—comes to fruition!
i had done their …
i had done their analysis. but i used traditional design analysis. if we apply the tip speed ratio analysis , the blades will rotate slowly. i also try to analysis other aspects such as dynamic and mechanical. The design has been proven safe because of their forces from wind will distributed in larger area in blades. so the deflection of the blades will smaller.
check out my video and my blog.
it’s so long to explain here.
cheers.
I’ve never heard a …
I’ve never heard a wind turbine that made anywhere near as much noise as Rush. And unlike Rush, WTG’s produce something useful.

The US uses 3.3 terriwatts of power. How many terriwatts of power could I buy for $819 billlion?

¿Donde vas a poner el generador electrico y los armatrios de control?
Ok
Where are you going to put the generator, ant the control lockers?
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 …
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
you need to sign up …
you need to sign up to see the content of their website, wth ?
is it possible to …
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 …
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.
