[QUOTE="bladerunnerpv, post: 544779, member: 35385"] Cool, I think that's for a built up area, it sounds like you have opportunity to keep it away from buildings and trees, allowing clean airflow. Savonius designs looked interesting as they look more tolerant to changing wind direction. I was hopeful I could use wind but I'm on a housing estate - space, noise, airflow all work against it sadly. As an aside just think of all the telegraph posts around the country and how much energy could be generated with a savonious on top, or even just a small turbine as used for some roadside speed monitoring, it all adds up, paint 'em green and they'll soon blend into the landscape so to speak. There's probably some factor I'm missing as I've not looked into it, just feels like a missed opportunity. [/QUOTE]
