This company,
Stormblade Turbine, was brought to my attention on another board. Their wild claims are so beyond reality, it's a wonder they are still in business.
Quote- "Stormblade Turbine can convert up to 70% of wind power into electricity, double the current average."
I guess they never heard of the Betz Limit. This is the worst, blatent lie they have published.
Quote- "The propeller blades and all the moving parts are housed within the nacelle and therefore pose no danger to migrating birds or bats."
Not that I ever bought into turbines being a significant threat to birds and bats, but how can they claim "no danger" when you still have an open front end?
Quote- "It produces more power per rotation, Increased electrical output"
Umm, no. Maybe more torque, but not more power, which we know is a factor of swept area, wind velocity, and rotor effiency.
Quote- "It is smaller in size, Lower visual impact"
While not a lie, it certainly is deceptive, as it sort of implies that a smaller unit compared to a standard commercial turbine, can put out equal power.
Just thought I'd put this here to see what opinions come of it.
