Windside Vertical Wind Turbines

Thanks to Kimmo Leskinen for letting us know about the Windside vertical wind turbines in the comments of our post about the Terra Moya Aqua vertical-axis wind turbine. The Windside turbines have been around for over 20 years and are based on sailing engineering. There are 8 models offered on their product page and their most interesting characteristics are the 0dB measured sound emission (they are basically silent) and the small amount of space required because of their vertical nature. ::Windside
