I found an interesting site while on the axial flux Yahoo! group.  Check it out, would love to hear your opinions on it.

Todd;

 I've seen this site before.

They seem to more of a clearinghouse of RE stuff along with architects than an innovator, also seems like they haven't updated their website for a while now.

Kinda cool seeing the BP solar and B&S Etek motor at the same booth:--).

Wouldn't mind having a try with the 'mill on the booth table though.

The "only" thing that that specificially concerns me, is there is no output/cost or output/wind speed charts for there design.  Every couple months you will see a new company pop up that claims to have a VAWT that is better in every way than a HAWT, and then you don't hear anything else from them.  While I am not here to bash VAWTs, as far as materials and cost in, compared to output, I have not been convinced of any VAWTs econimics yet.

Also the fact that they say that HAWTs need unidirectional is also a little fishy.

Nevermind, I found the output data.

Let me change my statement, the biggest problem I have with them is there web site design.

Black background with very small "blue" print doesn't work for me as I have bad eyesight and can't read the menu. P... poor design for sure
