[RE-wrenches] Helix Wind

[Max Balchowsky]

We've been called in to consult for a few of these VAWT projects (two were friends that were approached by companies that wanted them to invest) All ended being a pretty looking twirly thing that would not produce power under load, that's the key for these projects - put a load comparable to the claimed out put and see if it works..... (then have their "engineers" talk to Matt Tritt).

There’s a company here in  Santa Fe that fits that description: Bluenergy Solarwind (www.bluenergyusa.com). I have yet to see a product from them.

The name Helix made me recall another VAWT company by that same name [?] that offered a nearly identical device except that it's helical flutes were covered with PV cells. 
Really.
A 2006 PV customer with an excellent wind friendly ridge-top home sent me the link which I can't find. 
They just never give up.
