   Looks attractive, but wouldn’t it be dangerous to birds? Ah well, they’ll learn to avoid them. It’s nice to see companies coming out with so many different options to do this ourself, seeing as the government won’t be helping anytime soon. Thanks for sharing.

   It is a beautiful windturbine, a dutch ivention.
   In the Netherlands it costs 3000 euro, inclusive mounting
   When you compare the output with the price i think it is not a good investment. If you buy solar panels for 3000 euro’s you will get a higher output.
   I doubt the starting speed of 2m/s. Near where i live there’s a company wich has a 1 meter ball on their roof. It rotates only with stronger winds.
   The claim of producing 15% is based on the dutch everage use per household, wich is 3375 Kw per year. This claim can only be reached in the coastal area’s, not in urban inland city’s.
   I hoped the figures were better because then i would have a powerball on my roof.

   Please forgive my poor english writing,
   Greetings, Taco

   I had a friend who built his house in the late 70’s and totally powered his house with a windmill and his out builds also. Everyone would lose power during a storm but him. He even sold extra energy back to the electric company. Only thing his wife complained about it didn’t make the freezer freeze solid enough to keep ice cream in the freezer. LOL!

   Hi,
   Thank you for sharing.
   Scoraig Wind Electric said in the website :” My agenda here is to protect the reputation of wind energy from disaster. Wind energy works well if correctly applied, but rooftop mounting is not a suitable application.”
   They found that the mean wind speed was 1.7 m/s (less than 2 m/s–the minimum windspeed) in the urban house roof, when actually it is 5-7 m/s in the city.
   I guess we have concern this. Put the wind turbine on a tower, that can be 2.5 times sourrounding buliding height.
   Thanks,
   Rainboww

   Wind Power is very popular around here. There are several large wind farms within 15 miles and several home owners that produce their own wind power. Thanks for writing about this great energy resource.
