Dubbed "Revolutionair," the sleek turbines were officially debuted after a lengthy 2 years of research and work. This is supposedly a brand new, never before seen helix-shaped version of the Revolutionair unveiled by Starck today. I don't know if maybe the photo just doesn't reveal the helix because it is 2 dimensional or if the slant of the blade is what they are trying to describe. Best I can tell, the blades are standard airfoils and held at a progressive angle.

I would like to see this in person. The idea of a useful and still home size turbine is something very important to me as I have a project in this category that is very close to full production. If you are curious, spinpower.org is my site and I use a little bit of the server space to host this blog.

I am a firm believer that wind power will be wide spread in the future and people in windy areas will have them the way people living by water often have boats. There may be big beautiful turbines all the way down to turbines not much bigger than a desk fan. If we are talking boats, luxury yachts down to inflateables, my turbine would be a ski boat and hopefully affordable by the masses.

Someday we will know if my prediction is correct. :)
