Designer windmill to produce 80% of a home's energy

I'd like to see more data, but For $1200 Bucks, if it really can provide 80% of a home's power, I'm sold.

kick ASS!!! great post!

Say whaatt!

The cost of implementing a battery-grid tie-in to your existing power setup is not taken into account with the modest $1200 price tag. While it's a nice design, essentially what you're getting is an expensive weather vane.

With the 30% increase in Electricity Prices here in Northern Ireland and throughout the UK, many will look for an alternative energy source. If it really produces 80% energy for your home at these price tags then Iam Sold!

So how much would it cost to actually get it set up and fitted into your existing system so your home could be 80% self-sufficient?

£400-£600 is nothing to get 80% of your energy covered (you'd make it back pretty quickly these days!) so its sounds amazing, but if it's going to cost hundreds or thousands to install it suddenly becomes a lot less accessible...

i might buy this if it can truly do what it claims...

If it does everything it says and I had the money I would definitely buy it if I did not find something better.

Sounds yummy... I hope it is effective. Of course here in the states, you may have to jump through hoops to get that approved.

Form and function combining to save the world...nice.

wow if they really are this cheap i may have to buy one my self... wonder what it costs to convert.

I would definitely buy it, even if it was more.

woah.

If something like this actually worked and produced those kind of numbers, wouldn't we have heard of this by now?

sorry to seem a bit like a conspiracy freak... but big oil and gas companies take news like this and keep it off major news channels to keep their own profits up

and hay we're hearing about it now... maybe a slightly less nuts theory is that it's only just been revealed to the press.

Yeah, that is what I mean by jumping through hoops, the utility companies and even the state charges insane amounts of money to effectively install these energy alternatives. Especially those that do not cost someone an arm and a leg.

An aquaintance of mine has an approved patent and also a working design he wishes to install in his home, but because it is not on a "list" of "approved" models or units for installation, he is shit out of luck.

This is a win-win... it helps with conservation AND has the appearance of something designed by Apple... nothing wrong with trying to save the world in style...

This is so cool, and it is a very nice investment to lower the cost of electricity and pollution. It'll never make i to the United States. "We don't like saving money and hate all things green."

Where do we find more info on the entire cost like the battery tie in etc? It would be great if it works and is cost effective even if it is a little expensive it would be worth it if it can produce as claimed. Saverio, do you have any contact information? If so post it.

hell yes i'd buy it! I bet if it works as well as they say, it'll have utility companies shaking in their boots!

I'd love more info, but this is at the very least an exciting and relevant piece. Nice post! Energy independence through privatized innovation. Even the staunchest of climate skeptics can surely support such a definitively forward thinking venture

What is the square footage of the house it can power?

I mean what are we looking at 1,400 square feet like me, or 6,000 square feet like my rents?

1200 dollars is a fraction of what people pay for energy. If this can really produce 80% I'll definitely think about investing in this!

Yes. Where can I buy one?
