Can you give me some numbers like size of the thing vs wattage output as well as any other iterations of your device? Also consider contributing to my <a href="http://perfectcube.wordpress.com/diy/" rel="nofollow">new DIY page</a>. Best regards.

The invention even got the "Popular Mechanics 2007 Breakthrough Award". I can't wait for other news about it...like a large scale generator...or smth.

Conventional wind turbines capture about 60% (average) the the Betz efficiency. How do you get 10x to 30x that? 10x to 30x – right.
