As I am somewhat back at the drawing board, I was interested in everyones opinions of the VAWT shown here:

Have a look at the TV style stuff at the bottom, from something about the size of my Benesh they are claiming 1Kw, yet it looks fairl crude with a disc and some simple looking curves?

I hadn't seen the jay leno bit, i can't understand why they would use two completely different styles. Seems like most people are opting for the lenz style, any pictures of your progress dc2000? |

Well.
As the video demonstrates, if the guy can simply stop the 'thing' with his hand it doesn't offer much power...
If that generates 500 watts I would be very surprised, maybe 100w in a typhoon.
There is then quite a jump to a more professional unit for Jay Leno
Difficult to understand the massive progression??
