QuietRevolution Wind Turbines
Check out this UK-based "QuietRevolution" wind turbine design apparently reducing environmental impact issues such as visual impact, noise, and vibration sometimes experienced with some of today's standard wind turbines. Because the turbine is on a verticle axis, it "does not require wind from a consistent direction to continue producing power". This seems particularly useful for small scale wind in more densely populated areas where turbulence is experienced due to surrounding buildings and other structures.
