This wind turbine is quiet, bird friendly and can generate electricity in low wind speeds. That is because it funnels the wind into the center of it. I wonder though what happens in a high wind??

Another style makes use of a so -called Third Member.

Another idea has the sun create a wind in a covered area that rises up a ‘chimney’ – creating electricity as turbines turn.
