I read this 5kw system cost $15k. Doing simple math for a ROI looks like this.

8.5 m/s wind resource produces 6,300 kWh / year = 6.3 mWh

6.3 mWh x $120 mWh = $756.00

$15,000 ÷ $756 = 19.84 years before you see a return on your investment.  Add interest on top of the principle and it could take 60 years before you see a profit.

There are only a few areas in the country with 8.5 m/s wind resources at ground level.

I suggest you pass on this system.

It does looks pretty though.</description>

It looks like a very simple design, I&#039;m sure you could simply build your own by building your own Fiberglass blades.
$ 15k is for a rich treehugger, myself I&#039;m poor but handy.</description>

Bottom line is this:

If you don&#039;t like the idea, **** off. The youtube video comments section is not a proper discussion forum. Go away unless you&#039;re going to comment on the video itself.


Simpletons... 

I quite like the video and the idea myself. Its innovative and beautiful, and the background music is soothing. Plus, anything that furthers the development and implementation is worth trying out.</description>

I wonder if you could put these on top of cars would it produce enough electricity to run them?</description>

hey, thats a valid question, the energy could supplement a combustion engine,it&#039;s a hybrid. But I would put them on freight trains myself.</description>
