[RE-wrenches] wind scam?

[Darryl Thayer]

Roy is this not the same except fot the ridiges that Mick Sigrillo reported on in 2009 small wind conference, the same one that I had taken data on?  Mick reported at the rate of energy production it would take 1000 yrs to pay back.  My data was equally bad

With all the alleged information on their web site, I couldn't find any power curves.  And their "contact us" form was only for folks who had purchased their turbines.
 
Let the buyer beware!

Todd,

We're still waiting for verifiable 3rd party energy production data on this turbine.
Until that happens, this turbine stays on my "not ready for prime time" list.
As of today, Helix has not seen fit to file a notice of intent to certify with the
SWCC. Keep an eye on that list and the eventual certified turbine list, both will
 be very helpful in the future for weeding out the scams.

"Revolutionary" may be a good description for kinetic lawn art but doesn't
tell us a thing about it's ability to produce kilowatt hours to the grid.

What is it about human nature that makes people believe that the weirder
the design, the better it must be? And that "breakthrough" technology is
the best technology?

Have fun with this customer!

Sorry to bother the list with this kind of BS, but I have a client who insists this is a revolutionary wind machine design that is not a yard art scam. Feedback?
