Can anyone give me the website for a octagon shaped windmill with several panels?

Question

The inventor was recently featured on t.v. It is a small compact new design.

Answer 1

This may  be what you're looking for:

"So far, workers have built an octagon-shaped pedestal for one turbine, constructed of rebar and cement.

Atop the pedestal is a round concrete base, made up of steel rings and long anchor bolts, which will hold the towers in place. When finished, only the top 6 inches of the base will be exposed."

Here's a photo of the octogonal base of the windmill:

Noble Thumb I Windpark is in the Ubly area, in farm fields in Bingham and Sheridan townships,  & is a project of Connecticut-based Noble Environmental Power.  They'll use 1.5-megawatt General Electric wind turbines, towering more than 300 feet over the skies of Huron County. The development is being constructed by RMT WindConnect of Wisconsin & should begin spinning later this year. It's southeast of the Harvest Wind Farm, a 32-turbine park constructed last year near Elkton by John Deere Wind Energy.

"Seven complete turbine sets arrived in June 2006 and are stored in Sandusky...The big parts could start arriving the week of July 21...

The development is called Thumb I because Thumb II is planned, with 60 more turbines in five Sanilac County townships, hopefully as soon as 2009 or 2010...

When finished Noble Thumb I will be able to generate up to 69 megawatts of power, or enough to power 23,000 average homes, according to the company."

"It was 50-year-old guys with ponytails who opposed the plan [to build the windmills] & conservative farmers who supported it... For farmers, windmills were a land rights issue: why can’t they use their land as they see fit? And the income could help keep their farms in farming."

P.S. For some, windmills can have a unique,  charming appearance .  Taliesin is the Spring Green, Wisconsin, home of architect Frank Lloyd Wright.  The Octagon-shaped Romeo and Juliet Windmill on the property has been restored to its 1938 appearance:
