A Different Spin On Windmill Electricity






New technology for windmill electricity generation still excites me. While I was surfing I found just that on the website for Boise, Idaho’s channel 7 TV:

“The windmill, called the Blackhawk, is a vertical axis wind turbine with an articulating rotor. The windmill rotates more like a top rather than a clock when faced with wind.”

Manufactured by Comprehensive Precision Machining in Boise, Idaho, this windmill has an intriguing layout. According to the story, it is based on a helicopter and can generate a good amount of power.

This gives us another option for generating the power we need. The company’s website is here. It’s not for sale yet, but according to the site where I found this, it is supposed to be available early next year. I’m betting it’s worth the wait.
