That is great stuff.
Have you seen any for the VWT style?
I live in a city, have .27 acre of land around the house and can not put anything taller than 10 foot over the tree line.
(and that requires a special permit and contractor and sub-contractor and sub-sub-contractor and payoffs to the mayor and city council and.............augh)
...SO...
I have been experimenting with Verticals and have made 2 Savonious style, (with very little success) one turns easily in any wind but as soon as you load it it quits. The other will only turn in >25 mph wind and will handle loading but OMG it looks like it is coming apart.
Realize that these were made with coroplast and plywood.
I am working my way to aluminum and plywood.
Back to the Q.
I have not looked hard (cause it didn't occur to me)
But if you see any for the vertical turbines I would appreciate a link,
Thanx,
S
