Yes, they look actually plausible for me at the low end...

Not sure I ever saw them. Interesting how the twisted blades have internal fins with bypass in the depths.
Can't figure out the charts format. 20W at 22.4 mph for the 100W version?
But "starting at $6500" for a 100W windmill head and blades sounds a bit... uh, much.
That makes solar panels look cheap!

Yes, most of the worldwide distributors were coy with pricing, which is usually a bad sign.

The 0.3m swept area one that I was looking at was ~$9k from the US distributor.

I'm waiting for pricing from the UK distributor.
