Motorwind: Micro-Wind Turbines.

By Alex in Gadgets, Hacks & Mods, Home & Garden, Pictures on Apr 4, 2007 at 2:25 pm

Harvesting wind energy used to be limited to large conventional wind turbines, until Lucien Gambarota invented micro-wind turbines for private use called Motorwind. The turbines are small (25 cm or about 10 inch in diameter) and can generate energy with wind speeds as low as 2 m/s.

    I had been looking into wind energy for home use and this could be great, the price is nice too. The white color doesn’t do it for me, though, I’d go with something a little more garish.
