As for non typical wind systems, I was looking recently at some vertical axis wind turbines after seeing some flower/tulip designs and for anyone interested this Tesup Atlas 4 model seems to be as good as it gets [1]. Starts generating at 10mph and gets to 4kw at 35mph. Its about a 4ft square footprint and 50lbs so not in the same class as TFA but then again this will do more than trickle charge a cell phone.

- nabla9 4y agoWhat really concerns me about that Tesup model is 3-blade design with small air gap between blades. I have no idea how they think that would be more effective than 2-blade Savonius-principle rotor. It's possible to sell consumers ad-hoc designs that are unnecessarily inefficient just because they look cool.
