I think if any windmill appears to be nearing max speed, “shifting” to lower gears may help this and perhaps sustain some of the efficiency at high speed.

I think we should also look at ways of harnessing more energy from the current turbine speeds we can do. Things like automatic gear decrease/increase.

Cool.

Lots of hype without many facts. Fortunately for folks who are interested, NREL (national renewable energy laboratories) actually did test this system, on a good site, without trees or buildings to obstruct the wind. The system produced 108kWh over the course of 8 months (average 13.5kWh/month or about 1.6% of the energy consumed by the average home! A far cry from their claims of 25-30%). Google ‘nrel mariah’ to read the facts. Hold onto your wallets!

I dont care what anyone says, in URBAN surroundings, vertical axis wind turbines seem to be the best way to go.

Already happening, have a look at some wind turbine design websites.

Um… that’s nice. Why don’t you give them a call? Better yet how about posting your solutions for everybody to see? We can take the information and apply it to existing systems and improve upon your designs. Open source!
