Power possible from vertical turbine.
I am new to wind power and would like to install a vertical turbine in a fairly windy location as a semi commercial venture.
I have seen sites offering 50Kw, 100Kw and even 1Mw vertical turbines such as (French):-
http://www.eicenergy.org/eoliennestype.htm
These claims seem wildly exaggerated when looking elsewhere such as this forum.
Is it anywhere near possible to generate 50Kw using a 12m high vertical turbine?
