I was surfing around this morning and I found this "new" wind turbine design. Is this the next generation of a wind turbine that would be practical for the home energy market? It really looks good on paper... It appears that they are accelerating the velocity of the wind, something like unto a jet engine turbine and getting much more work out of the wind.

absolutly no info on the web site....
and a bad photoshop mock up.....
If it were true I think they would have at least diagrams of the concept and some real pictures instead of jet engine parts......
always can hope tho......

I dunno. Hard to tell from picture, but surface area of intake doesn't make it look feasible.

Just my two cents...
