Global Climate Change Action

I recieved an email from Graeme Attey today (11/08/2008) with an update on the WINDpod..."Tests completed recently at the UWA (University of Western Australia) of our most recent pre- production turbine have been extremely encouraging. A 0.435m diameter 'tube' of 2.2m length produces 73 Watts in 15 knots of wind, 173 Watts in 20 knots and 338 Watts in 25 knots. Three of these modules would supply 1kW (a typical house power consumption) in these conditions and we expect to sell them for approximately $1,500 each.
We are currently setting up for production late this year."

Hullo all - Catalin Damir I dont know if you;'re in Australia, but I am - and WE certinaly havent heard any news HERE either - does anyone know what's going on?

It may require following up with the WA govt who provided the funding - surely THEY must know what's happening?

Is it the same story as the Sarich Orbital engine (which was meant to save the planet oh, decades ago but he got bought out by some mega-corp and his invention has been going nowhere for decades - probably being held up until world oil supplies dry up or get so rare + expensive they'll be commandeered for military purposes only.

I was ready to buy 5 of these to power my house until I saw the news story was a year old nad nothing else was heard of. Does anyone have a website or email address for theis Graeme Attey guy?

In the video, the thing looked as if it was already working and could be sold and applied immediately, so what's the delay?

Was it all a con? Does it really generate almost NO power from wind?
