Flower Turbines: Just Another Exercise in Futility in Small Wind

These guys have been raising capital since they were founded 12 years ago.  Will investors ever see a dime in return?  No.

As it has been shown consistently, small wind is a nonstarter, and the only thing special about this organization is the ferocity with which it fishes for new marks.

There current claim is the low “cut-in speed,” (see photo at right) meaning the wind speed at which the turbines start to turn.  This, of course, is completely irrelevant, since the power generated by a moving fluid is proportional to the cube of the velocity, and so low wind speeds produce almost zero power.
