More Crap on Small Wind

Every ad I see for these people contains at least one–often several–glaring inaccuracies.

Do you really believe that utility-scale wind turbines are:

a) Fixed in position, and don’t adjust for wind direction?  Just look it up; it only takes a few seconds.

b) Built for industrial rather than residential real estate?

Yesterday, they advertised that their product is designed for low RPMs.  Guess what?  Power = speed X torque.  Low speed = low power.  Does low power seem like an advantage?

Also, torque = force X radius.  Small radius devices will have low torque, thus even lower power.

Maybe they’re looking for investor capital from high school dropouts.
