If I had a small version of this that generated 100-200 watts I'd be happy. That'd be enough to let my house break even at night.

There are some nice camping wind turbines that are big enough to fit that category

Just want to say all these turbines are basically scams that don't work. 12 m/s is 26 mph. You do not have 26 mph winds as often as you think you do.

It really depends on what use case you have and where you mount it.

But you're right that you're absolutely not getting nameplate capacity out of it very often.

Agreed. These could be good in a limited number of areas. Just as with tidal and wave energy generators, a good solution but only for very few places.

100-200 W only requires a small battery?
