It's a 'Magnetically-Levitated Axial Flux Alternator Vertical Axis Wind Turbine' which really runs best on a rooftop. Impressive.

When the weather is calm they also look fetchingly beautiful. Enjoy this pictorial guide. Image: Turbines all at sea http://uk.oneworld.net/link/gotolink/addhit/76411 from Treehugger blog: This new prototype turbine, called Stormblade, works by accelerating the wind onto the blades and is therefore more efficient at low as well as high wind speeds. It's bird- and bat-friendly too.

How do you work out whether it will work as you want it to and where you want it to? This excellent site gives you all the details you could possibly want. e.g. Click 'Know How' and take the 'Guided Tour'.

Image: Aerovironment turbine http://uk.oneworld.net/link/gotolink/addhit/74609 from The Energy Blog: 'These L-cells can provide peak powers between 1kW and 10MW and backup capacity of 4 hours to 10 days. The devices are seamlessly integrable with power grid, solar and wind installations.' http://uk.oneworld.net/link/gotolink/addhit/74357 from The Watt blog: The Sorne Hill Windfarm will be one of the largest wind farms in Ireland when it's complete. What's new is that the power it generates can be stored in special batteries. http://uk.oneworld.net/link/gotolink/addhit/74190 from It’s Getting Hot In Here blog: A DIY turbine which any practical person can build. http://uk.oneworld.net/link/gotolink/addhit/71851 from Dvorak Uncensored blog: A new windfarm, south of Glasgow, will produce enough electricity to power 200,000 homes. But what about the NIMBYs?
