Reply to comment by Mobile-Ground-2226 in Aeromine says they have solved many of the problems that have long made domestic rooftop wind power compare poorly to solar panels. They claim their "motionless" rooftop wind generators deliver up to 50% more energy than a solar array of the same price while taking up just 10% of the roof space. by lughnasadh

It's motionless in the sense that it doesn't rotate like traditional turbines or vertical axis turbines. The structure vibrates and somehow they capture the energy from it. Kinda like comparing a circular saw to an oscillating saw but for generating power.

Ok NVM I went and read the article (shame on me) and there is a turbine it's just hidden from the surface.

I thought this was a different type that does exactly what my explanation was suggesting.

Here is what I thought we were talking about: https://vortexbladeless.com/technology/
