I can't tell if these are industrial size or if they are thinking about making one for the residential user as well.
Does anybody know if these go up on towers too or do they stay on the ground with the "critical components" alluded to in the article?
Ah here we go, from the original article:
Still, he does not see a need to go to a huge size, but intends to design these turbines for output of between 1 kilowatt and 1 megawatt. A 1 kW turbine would stand around 18' feet high, including the control systems under the rotor area. This is in the low range to handle home power supplementation, and is small enough to be permitted in most residential zoned areas. The municipal-grade 1 MW turbine would be about 220 feet high, half the size of a comparable propeller system. The production prototype will be a 25 kW machine and stand approximately 34 feet tall.
