Is it been sugested that the VAWT builders should give up? Stick with the proven HAWT axial flux design? I mean, why bother trying something new, it will probably fail.

The way I see it, in clean wind a HAWT wins hands down. And a VAWT with a tail is kind of pointless. But in crap wind ( ie, suburbia ), a omnidirectional VAWT can work and is working for a lot of builders. Besides, they look cool :)
