Groundbreaking Energy Ball Wind Turbine for Home

[hoon]

Swedish energy design company Home Energy recently announced a new prototype that could potentially change the way the world looks at wind in the years to come. Using a unique, proprietary design, the Energy Ball utilizes the Venturi Effect in combination with a design that allows air to flow inside of the device itself, as opposed to simply going through it, to improve the look, efficiency, and simplicity of a tool that will be instrumental in the world’s shift to more sustainable and renewable forms of energy.

Just a shame there isn't an English version. Does look very pretty, though. I think I want one.

I read about this design before. The idea is very innovative.

Is there an English version of the site?

Thanks

What are the chances of getting planning permission for one of these strapped on your house in a UK town?

Won't know until you try it! I don't see why it should be such a huge issue, really. They're much less obvious than 30ft towers in a back garden.

Yeah but then I will know I'm 5 grand(or what ever exorbitant price the commercialised green industry put on an actuated coil with blades attached, these days) out of pocket.

Out of interest: Does anyone know the specific UK planning law for wind devices on terraced properties?
