Re: vertical wind turbines - OWC Jamie - 02-17-2014 Noticed lots and lots of those being installed in parking lots on the existing light poles last time I was in Italy.

Is this something we may see on roofs eventually? Re: vertical wind turbines - Speedy - 02-17-2014 Black wrote: Already has been done for years. Re: vertical wind turbines - cbelt3 - 02-17-2014 Excellent ! FWIW: Rooftop installation probably requires a stronger structure than the average building will provide. While they are less stressful than the HAWT design, they still reflect a big torque load on their mounting, and a vibration environment. I say this without any experience in VWT's, but experience in radar antenna servomechanism design.

I wonder how much juice a garage roof packed full of these could produce and/or how it compares to solar on a square foot basis.
