* 1.5KW!?! for $7000!! So, 1.5KW = 1500W, after I turn on my 1500 W hair dryer what will power the rest of my electrical needs? Or, will I have to buy 10-12 of these at $7000 each to have enough power to do me any good at powering my house? Doesn't sound very cost effective to me.

* Let's do a Demo in Central Texas. We can use my house. I'll pay for it.

* Could someone at Sauer explain why this system is so expensive vs. the regular tower system when the components are less expensive (i.e. plastic) . I do like the design, I think it is a viable design, but cost prohibitive. Could you get back to me on that? How is it on the Mississippi Gulf Coast winds?

* It's plastic and a generator - it should be CHEAPER than a generator to produce. So who gets the lion's share of this 7k? I'll bet you anything you want it goes to the big box where you buy it. Why not sell them directly, you'd get a heck of a lot more buyers for a 3,500 machine than you'll get for a 7k machine. It's simply not cost effective at that price.

* You DO realize that at .08 per KWH it would take 7 YEARS of CONTINUOUS FULL POWER OPERATION to pay for itself? For people that have a 25mph wind for only 12 hours a day it would take 14 years. For people that have a 10mph wind 12 hours a day this device would not pay for itself, given that the price of energy did not change.

* I live in florida. Could it handle hurricane cat 5, 150 mph winds?

* @celyl I don't think any turbine can handle 150MPH winds. If a hurricane were to be headed your way, we would suggest taking down the turbine. If you have yet to see how easy it is to assemble, look at our other video in our channel to watch how it is done. I hope this answers your question.

* I feel excited about the Sauer wind turbine. I share your belief that it will be a benefit to mankind. There is always a need for energy and wind energy has yet to be used effectively. I am expecting the best from your idea.

* @STARFIRESOLAR Take a look at the video on our homepage. It explains the difference between other turbine systems and ours. If you have detailed questions about it, please fill out the contact form on our website.

* @sauerenergy I don't have any questions because I see the differences. This video is full of cool graphics and music, but totally lacks TEST RESULTS. I don't think the design is as efficient as other VAWT turbines I've seen. It looks cool with all the bumps and ribs and all but I don't think it adds that much if any, to output. However, I'm all for getting some turbines in the wind however you can. The only bad turbine is the one that isn't in the wind and working for you. Waiting to see more

* @STARFIRESOLAR We respect your opinion, but you can find everything on our website. We do agree with your point of view that the only bad turbine is one that isn't in the air and that is why we are working overtime to help build one of the best turbines around. I hope you can understand our goal and mission to make the world a better place to live. Thanks for giving us your feedback. Good or bad... it is all appreciated.

* @STARFIRESOLAR If, as is claimed, it spins @ between 2 & 3 mph wind speed, and is generating substantial current by <5mph, these are improvements over anything thus far advanced, including the Darrius rotor, a huge one of which was erected in the Texas panhandle, visible from I-40...typically, they failed to maintain it, as did California & Arizona with the GE 50kw fans they put up to catch the Santa Ana winds, then were too incompetent to lubricate regularly! Vertical shafts SHOULD do better!

* @Jakearoo14 Not sure what you don't understand. We just finished wind tunnel testing on all of our turbines at the University of Washington. You can see the full results on our site under the "TURBINE" tab. I suggest you check out the video on our homepage called "Meet Joe". It explains the difference between our turbine and the rest. I hope this helps clears things up.

starts at 00:56, I am glad we are thinking about this as a civilization that we need to resort to renewable energy. If we all can work together the result would be awesome.

* At the end of the movie it does not allow pause to view the specs of the testing. I would rate this as a low point for the demo.

* @sauerenergy Hi I was wondering if you have actual output data from any of your installs. also, is this product self-installed or do you guys help me put it up?
