Yes, I have a design for a vertical axis machine based on a Darrieus rotor, that will be several times more efficient. I was stumped for years over rotor air foil shape (the perfect shape is expensive to test) until Sandia Labs in Albuquerque published their research on this shape. They are a government lab, so their research is public domain. Their cost, 5 million dollars, my cost, zero; problem solved, ROFLOL!
They were trying to solve the stalling problem, and got lost in the wasteland of restarting a stalled rotor. I just designed the stall out entirely! This new design will be several times more efficient than the modern wind generators. It can also be made in house sizes, and remain efficient. And it never has to turn into the wind.
:)
ok sir smithlabs I like your research methods of letting the government do it! lol. so these wind generators, how big are they and how tall are they?

Yet, that research surprised me, ROFLOL! This design has no size restriction; but I intend to make one about 10 foot diameter and 8 foot high in two 90 degree offset sections. I will need to raise it above the trees, so it will need to be 100 feet high.
I expect about 2000 watt in moderate wind from this generator!
