Spiral Airfoil Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine an Engineering Work of Art

You may remember that we featured a beautifully engineered horizontal axis wind generator last month here at residential wind power.  Dan Parker the man behind the hypnotizing design has sent us some more footage of his pride and joy.

As far as wind power generators go we think Dan has done a brilliant job on making something that not only works well but could double as a work of art!

Hopefully Dan can keep us up to date with his progress in developing his wind generator along with output figures.
