Read it and weep: VAWT dominates Paris Eiffel Tower
« on: February 25, 2015, 02:41:19 PM »
Yes guys, Paris has installed not one but two Vertical Axis wind turbines on the .... Eiffel Tower no less! 10,000 kWh. 400ft in the air, (second level).

What do ya say we put together a field trip and head over to Paris to see it? ?

 
Can't seem to post a photo.

They are VisionAir5's  at 5.2m high and 3.2m width, so according to this site........

http://www.usvawt.com/cgi/windpower.cgi

They might get 1 kw in 16mph wind.......

However the Install costs.........approx. $30,000 each just does not make any sense.

i liked the look of verticals but the price they paid !
the price is ridiculous .
only governments can justify  overpriced mechanisms like this.
 somebody is related to somebody or is sleeping with someone who is
maybe both.
