just to make a small point regarding the pigeon-dicing goodness of this turbine...unfortunately, they forgot to leave that feature in this model. See, vertical axis turbines normally rotate at or only slightly higher than the speed of the wind, such that birds can actually see them as solid objects and don't fly directly into them.
