Over the years I have seen many half-brained attempts at designing a new type of efficient wind turbine. Some seem to just copy what's already available and others go off the wall and make something that seems like it just wouldn't work.
I found an exception though. Windtronics (
http://www.earthtronics.com/honeywell) has created what I feel is a novel and innovative approach to harnessing wind power.
I don't want to seem like a salesman here so I will leave at it at that for now. Check it out. I would love to hear everyone's opinion. I don't work for Windtronics or Honeywell. I just thought this would be something people would want to know about.
