This design seems to be of interest. It accepts wind from any
direction and handles turbulent wind quite well. It makes absolutely
no noise. . 0 dB. It cannot reach overspeed like other convention
wind turbines. Once it reaches it's designed speed, all excess
airflow simply flows around it. The downside is that they are
relatively expensive at $5,000 per unit. So, I have decided to make
the attempt of building my own. The biggest challenge will be
balancing the entire unit to minimize any vibrations. I've started my
project by purchasing three 12 foot sections of three inch diameter
black plastic plumbing pipe. I've cut these sections into 4 foot
lengths. I will then cut each pipe lengthwise into three equal width
blades. I should then have 27 curved plastic blades to begin my
project with. So, far the total cost has been $69. I estimate no
more than $500 for my entire project, which means that I can build ten
units to match the cost of one professionally built unit. I'm an
adventurous sort of fellow, so here goes... /watch?v=q7ffNWkefyY
