They kind of do, because if you've been unemployed for some amount of time you have to take every job they offer you, otherwise you don't get any unemployment money at all, then you can't pay your rent and have to start steal

How could you eat it without butter? Isn't it far to dry to be eatable? But this could be because of the difference in bread, just image-google "bread" vs. "Brot".

The more I read about it the more I get the feeling that their goal is to get as much funding as possible without letting anyone test it, kind of like Andrea Rossi and his cold fusion reactor.

They don't say anything about that, I assume you could close a valve or something, that way it would be easier to controll the flow of wind then with a normal turbine.

In their FAQ they say: - What are the details of the system inside? Sorry, we do not comment on the details of the inside of our INVELOX system because they are part of our trade secret. So it is not unreasonable to assume that they have s

Coudldn't you just close the tube? I assume they already use some kind of a one-way valve so the wind on the other side wouldn't suck and lower the preasure in the tube, you could just close this valve if the wind is too high, or

My biggest problem with it is that no one outside of SheerWind has been allowed to test the system. It kind of sounds like what happens with Andrea Rossis Energy Catalyzer[1], he was able to get milions in fundings over the years but never

I assume you could have something which only lets air in but not out, like a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_valve but for wind.

Yes it does, if the wind is too slow for a normal turbine the normal one outputs 0 kw/h and this one more then 0 and therfore if you let it do its job it will naturally produce much more power then the one which doesn't produce an

They say they can generate electricity at much lower wind velocities already, long before a normal big blade could.

If you have a server where you can install something yourself, I recommend TinyTinyRSS[1], or if you already run a ownCloud instance then ownCloud News[2]. For both of them there are desktop and mobile clients, TTRSS even has a fever plugin
