This is where the 4.8kW will go if they haven't thought of the possibility of high winds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e9uRSVun30 http://www.youtube.com/wat

- traviscj 13y agoThis seems precisely like an argument for a smaller turbine-based design INSTEAD of huge and (relatively) heavy blades. Turbines for car turbochargers and airplane engines can regularly (if I remember correctly) operate in the regime of ~100k RPM. And like other commenters say: I think it would be much easier to restrict flow in the "funnel" part and most things I can imagine for a freestanding wind machine.
- stcredzero 13y agoLooks like the blades are designed to crumple when they fail.
