Reply to comment by ButterflyCatastrophe in Aeromine says they have solved many of the problems that have long made domestic rooftop wind power compare poorly to solar panels. They claim their "motionless" rooftop wind generators deliver up to 50% more energy than a solar array of the same price while taking up just 10% of the roof space. by lughnasadh

Okay google, what's the proportion of windows to windmills?

Not to mention it's a savonius rotor, not a wind turbine

"a machine for producing continuous power in which a wheel or rotor, typically fitted with vanes, is made to revolve by a fast-moving flow of water, steam, gas, air, or other fluid."

So it's a rotor, powered by air, that's generating power? Pretty much the definition of wind turbine.

Y'all really got to argue about anything don't you. What I was getting at is this motor could chop up birds and the like versus the conventional wind turbine.

That wasnt an argument though. Language is important and you made the same claim (it's not a wind turbine) in multiple comments.

If no one corrects you, other people might believe you and start parroting it.

>versus the conventional wind turbine.

Had you used this phrasing or similar in your other comments we wouldn't be having this conversation.
