Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Does anyone on the 4m have a "Quietrevolution" VAWT?

If so, I'm curious as to whether it operates using horizontal flow or updrafts
through the blades. I'd also like to know if it's self-starting or if it has to be
spun up to speed with the help of a motor.

I tried building a small model and it just sits there in the wind and does
nothing!
