Interesting and important point. Presumably it is possible to engineer it so that it disengages from the gear in winds speeds that could damage the assembly. Minimum wind speed is a key obstacle in designing efficiency into wind turbines.
Don’t try and sell this to “Homes and small businesses” Try and catch federal state, or district eyes! If this turbine can capture wind effectively in the close knit urban environment, it could certainly reduce a cities need for non-clean power, perhaps even rid it all together! (although that could be pushing it.)
very good desgin …
Two questions: (1) Does is operate below 4 m/s and above 25 m/s? (2) What kind of lab testing did you do to determine the design? It looks fascinating.
I think it would probably work but because the building is creating some resistance to the wind flow probably not as strong as ontop of the building.. and you would also have problems with aesthetics.. i’m not too sure if office people would want to have spinning whirling things right outside of their windows..
it sounds logical alright. Worth looking into of course
this design is ideal for any setting to be precise. Far more efficient than the pivoting pinwheel structures
This design responds to 360 degrees of air forces across perpendicular planes and poses minimal hazard to persons, property or nature, which makes it ideal for urban and residential installations.
I wonder if this device (or similar system) could be installed, and still be productive, if it were integrated up the vertical edge of tall buildings in special alcoves. Wind speed at the corners of tall structures (esp’ flat faced oblong shaped skyscrapers) can be several times ambient wind speeds due to deflection.
Just an idea!!!

the helix looks good – and how high or big can you build one and at what cost? I have a way that can make it affordable for most – I just need the specks for payback time and power generation. Most people will not be out gluing 55 gallon plastic barrel together to get the same effect.
yes yes, so I’ve been told. but I was hoping that maybe someone had thought of a way to make it possible
Very good point pxpgls. However, the more they sell the more they can refine their manufacturing process and lower the price. If they could get it down to $5000, do you think you’d consider it? Payback in 7 years, then cheap power after that. We don’t have much wind here so its not something I’d consider.
That is bad-frickin-ass!!
A simple sail would do this job much more efficiently in case of car – ancient, yet the best solution.
I think its a brilliant idea. These are quite expensive to install though. the cost of producing and installing them would certainly put off the profit of having one for a great amount of time. But if they are as durable as they say they are i think it would be brilliant.
FYI, If you put them on a moving vehicle the air resistance would slow you down more than you gain.
If you did it while parked it could be dangerous to kids who might try to touch it etc.
Wind and solar are best in a fixed open area where they are safe and used in the most efficient way adding clean energy to the grid.
hey, thats a valid question, the energy could supplement a combustion engine,it’s a hybrid. But I would put them on freight trains myself.
Thats just beautiful
Nooooo
I wonder if you could put these on top of cars would it produce enough electricity to run them?
Bottom line is this:
If you don’t like the idea, **** off. The youtube video comments section is not a proper discussion forum. Go away unless you’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.
It looks like a very simple design, I’m sure you could simply build your own by building your own Fiberglass blades.
$ 15k is for a rich treehugger, myself I’m poor but handy.
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 รท $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.
put this on a motor and you have an excellent fan as well.
