Until recently the major obstacle with wind power generation for the average household has been cost and the need for strong winds to drive the turbines. Hong Kong businessman and inventor Lucien Gambarota has, it would seem overcome those obstacles using plastic.

The new system he invented has reduced the power generation cost to around 1 cent per kilowatt hour, the system also runs in low wind speeds as well.

Advantages

“Motorwind micro turbines can work in wind speeds of only 2m/second. The turbines are also designed to withstand winds as high as 50 m/s, such as is found in a typhoon. The light weight, small size, and flexible configuration allows them to be installed in both urban and rural environments, for individual or corporate use. Motorwind turbines give users a new option for efficient renewable energy and therefore reducing their impact on the environment.”

I must say I am very impressed with this system and I am seriously going to investigate it for installation on my rooftop.
