[edit] The Fundamental Problem

"Prototypes of the device are claimed to be ten-to-thirty times more efficient[1] than wind microturbines."

Elementary physics shows that to be impossible.

"One prototype has successfully powered two LEDs, a radio, and a clock using wind generated from a household fan. The cost of the materials was well under US$10"

A fraction of a watt for $10 is an exceptionally high cost per watt. Its hard to think of any locations where a miniature solar pv panel would not do a much better job at lower cost.

Promotional publicity does not equal facts. Occasionally wiki writers forget. Tabby (talk) 01:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
