    It would really be kind of useless without wheels. The 9.7 kW*hr storage battery probably weighs somewhere around 250 pounds by itself. Who wants to lug that up a mountain?

    Oh goody! They say you can tow it behind your electric car, and the turbine will recharge its battery while you drive. Wonder how much good that will do, because 750 Watts is about equal to 1 HP, and wouldn't push any car very fast. It takes about 22 HP to push an average-sized car down the road at 55 MPH.

    I like cool stuff (toys), and maybe because I am a do it yourself kind of guy, but why not buy a trailer and add the Wind Generator, solar panels, and water purifier? Wheels are usually included on a trailer.

    And this is tested, and workable?

    It shows this much: sun and wind can generate enough power to provide comfort in a shelter for a few people. They will not suffice for an industrial economy. For that you need something like John Galt's electrostatic motor--or a low-footprint nuclear reactor.
