Feedback on these and other VAWTS? Oh, you bet!<br>
Bottom line....there are no commercially viable VAWTS on the market
today.<br>
Only lots of spinny things we call kinetic lawn art.<br>
<br>
To be more precise....most will generate power but almost none are<br>
able to generate energy in an efficient, cost effective manner.<br>
Especially on a rooftop or near the ground where the VAWT marketing<br>
promotes their installation.<br>
<br>
And if you read further about Helix, they just agreed to acquire<br>
all assets of Abundant Renewable Energy...the makers of the<br>
ARE 110 and 442. It appears that the VAWT people have caught<br>
on to the fact that HAWTS are where the money is.<br>
<br>
That's not to say that there's not a lot of crappy HAWTS out there...<br>
but that's a story for another time ;-)<br>
<br>
I'm not against VAWTS, just deceptive marketing and scams.<br>
Someday someone will come up with a viable VAWT and I'll<br>
probably give it a try. Hasn't happened yet....<br>
