We have all seen pictures of large expanses of traditional wind turbines. Each one turning in the wind.<\/p>\n

But some of us are engineers and inventors. Some of us think: There must be a better way.<\/p>\n

I have looked at Selsam’s parallel blades<\/a>, I have studied the quiet revolution <\/a>website. I have already written about apartment size blades.

\nThere must be a better way to decide on the best design. This is not a question of Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, of Betamax or VHS, that can best be decided upon by the market. Wind power can be scientifically studied. Just as car designers put their cars in a wind tunnel, why can’t wind power designers? And come to think of it, airplane manufacturers are all about drag as well, and I am sure they have even more sophisticated tools and larger wind tunnels. <\/p>\n

It is one thing to put your design on a mountain and see what happens. But it is another to study it under controlled conditions. I think the car and plane manufacturers should open up their labs to wind power designers. All study wind and drag. <\/p>\n
