I wonder... Using the same 'footprint' that a typical turbine takes up, what would be the +/- of wind power produced? Is it not only more scalable, but also more effective?
Another pondering... Does it produce more power than it would take for a fan to produce the effect? eg. have a fan pointing at the device and start rotating the propeller manually until the device can power the fan, would the device be able to push more power than would be necessary to power the fan? So many questions... I would love to get one of these and start testing with it...
