Everybody who buys diet pills and gas saver magnets should get one of
those turbines. Call me when you get yours, I can modify it so that
it's even quieter - by welding the rotor so that it can't rotate. It
will barely affect the output, so will be well worth my $100 fee.

No thanks..I can weld it myself.As for me getting one...I don't have enough
wind in my area.What seems to be the problems with this unit???

Rotor area of wind turbines is paramount. The hushenergy site's claims
about output versus rotor area are ludicrous. To compare the site's
claims to real life, I'll use my own turbine as an example. It's at a
windy site, cost about $1500, and has a 10' diameter rotor. Average
production is about 4kWh per day. The hushenergy site claims 50% more
energy on 10% of the rotor area for 4 times the cost. It's pure BS
designed to con suckers. The real world output of their 1 meter
turbine will be perhaps 100W. The readily available, proven, and
slightly larger Air X can be had for about $600US, versus $6-7000AU
for the hushenergy rip off.

Here's an article from a reputable author describing the basics about
rotor swept area.  http://www.awea.org/faq/sagrillo/ms_swept.html
