Even if it doesnt match its claims to efficiency glory… it look hellaciously cool!!
Please let me know if you’ve seen any other fancy new turbine designs, I want to do a HUGE investigation into emerging trends in this area!!!

This is the “LoopWing” wind turbine. It is soon to be unveiled in Japan’s Eco-Products 2006 Exhibition. The E1500 model turbine is aimed at homeowners, and it sports a unique wing design that operates with low vibration, and at wind speeds as low as 1.6 m/sec. The efficiency specs on the turbine are vague — “43% power performance at optimum wind speeds” is all published. :: LoopWing via Japan For Sustainability, via Treehugger.com
