When we think of wind turbines, we visualise tall structures with long, vertical blades that stand in open fields or coastlines. However inventors are also targeting other styles of wind turbines that are designed to work in alternative locations, such as atop commercial buildings. Below are a few such innovators ...
Mariahpower, Windspire self-standing tower for residential usage, generates 1200 watts or 2,000 kWh annually. Youtube demo.
Aerotecture, Aeroturbine horizontal rooftop installations for commercial buildings, generates 1000-1800 watts. Youtube demo.
Bahrain World Trade Centre, commercial building crossbeam attached wind turbines make a design statement in addition to producing electricity. Youtube demo.

If this start wind speed is 1.5m/s. This generator will be a huge progress in small wind turbine industry. Whether it is as good as they say. It need the test of time.wind generator
