They are way more efficient than standard windmills.
- work at wind speeds of 1m/sec tot 30m/sec
- cheaper
- better efficiency converting wind into electricity.
- adjust better to changing wind directions.
- more portable

Some little more research, then I'll get some.
Wind speeds around my place etc.

What say you?

I would really like to get into my own power generation. I still don't understand how it gets turned into useable power? i see the wind spinners but what is it connected to? I geuss i don't really understand how wind energy is turned into useable power?
Thanks for this thread

The wind creates torque which turns an alternator or generator. This creates d/c current which may be used
directly or converted to a/c current through an inverter.
your radio plugs into the inverter and you have music.

So what do you do when there is no wind? You store your
energy in a battery for use at your convenience.
