The problem is, I come across too many wind turbine designs these days each claiming pretty much the same benefits - more modular, more efficient and so on. I think the key issue is price - how much does this cost? Remember, wind turbines go at around $1-1.5 million per MW, so this has to fall in that range for it to be competitive. And as ThisIsNo has said before, perhaps it can work at lower wind speeds, but somewhere it's gonna hit you...no free lunch.

I'd LOVE to find one that kicks in below 7MPH and doesn't throttle down above 30!
