Stormblade turbines: Myth or Real?

Question

I have been making a research about wind turbines for my company. Accidently The stormblade turbine came up on my research. They say its twice as better then regular 3 blade wind turbines in every single way. I checked almost every single pages on the web about this. But i couldn't find credible information. Please help me on this if you know something credible... Thank you

Answer 1

Looked at them on google.

If researching for purchase, I'd ask:

* what's the unit output?

* what's the projected 'payback' time?

Efficiency might be figured on 'swept area', and while

the unit might use 70% of the wind it recieves, it can't get much through that small o*****e as compared to the swept area of a conventional unit.

I'd guess that cost/benefit suffers.

(Always look for what they don't seem to want to tell you.)

Best of luck

This chap is doing the same research [e-mail]

Actually, every page I read about this comes up with the same guy.... Viktor A. Jovanovic.. it's not you by any chance is it?

Here is another page...

I am a Phd. in Geology and would love to see how this is feasable at 70% conversion rates and 120mph wind speed without structural damage.

Anyway.. will look into this more.
