Dang that is cool, looks like some kind of Cristo artwork too
That’s freakin awesome O.O
It must be weighted correctly, but man it looks odd
We need to stop the massive blight on nature caused by typical 400-foot turbines and focus on small-scale deployments like this.
how many kwh are you getting off one off those?
Low TSR Low rpm high torque = snake oil… so what you increased the surface area….
Looking at videos today. I like the clip, nice job activeo, have a look at my Home Wind Turbine videos and subscribe or friend me if you like.
I own one of these and it is very loud, you would not one of these next to your house. See the video response. They keep taking it down but I will keep putting is back.
I purchased this units last September and to date it has not worked as advertized. It is so noisy that my neighbors have complained to the homeowners association. Helix Wind improperly installed the unit and they have now walked away. Dont buy Helix Wind!!!!!

I think that there is only one disadvantage with this system. If the windspeed drops for a while this system wil lose rotation speed very fast because of the higher wind resistance. And i guess its max output is lower then that of a normal windturbine.
But its safer, and way more practical for home-scale use. This is the way forward.
Now start focussing on making it cheaper…When that happens this things are gonna get popular:D
Didn’t Jaques Cousteau power a ship around the world with a vertical wind turbine? Proved it works.
You all got some good points as far as price but I do thing the VAWT turbines are better for in the back yards of single family homes and even aprtments because of safty and the swirling winds.
How large is this structure, It looks huge.
Nice looking design
how much is it
LOL! perfect for Oregon.
I couldn’t agree more Mr. Glacial Mind. I have aguments with my friends about this all the time. They think that the average person paying a guy in a white lab coat is going to be putting up a windmill on a economically realistic budget. . We all know Joe Farmer can make his own mast cheap and do all the grunt work. What is needed is a cheap standardized generator and windmill blades.
if 1 will 1/2 your electric bill… then 4 units would force the electrcity company to pay YOU..!!! hahaha nice… as for 20% of power in the usa to b made from wind by 2030, OMG that’s pathetic… I’m sure one americans fat ass could power a small country…! lol
I visited their website and could not for the life of me find their prices. Well hidden prices can only mean exorbitant ones.
The main limiter for wind technology is not efficiency (this has been nearly maxed out by current technologies) but the price of system. Thus it is unwise to put our hands together for any design which does not address this economic issue, but simply repackages the same overpriced system in a new more aesthetic style.
I was in Palm Springs recently and north of town are thousands of wind mills, giants that power hundreds of homes…each. Not a single windmill looked like a Cheeto on a pole. Hmm, I wonder why. Maybe GE, Siemens, and dozens of other manufacturers know something.
it could probably be changed to use rain power
good work!
And it can be made to do it the other vay in the raein… or rein wind ooo just poke holes with heanglwe change so YES!!….
Hmm i want these in Finland.
All farmers build beautiful greencamo 20 meter spiral trees in the midle of farms.. Heck why not trough visible top to widen down to trees.
This is Beautifull!!
I was raised in a small town of 1000 in rural Nebraska. Being the high plains with abundant wind, wind mills were used to produce electricity prior to the advent of utility distribution. Now they only use them to pump water for cows and many ranchers now use solar to do the same to save on maintenance. I sure wish more ranchers would realize they have free and abundant energy right in thier backyards and put it to use.
