Inventor Bruce Brill has patented a new approach to the traditional windmill. The post states that:
"Brill's windmill is a horizontal structure, and the blades do not spin so much as tumble like the wheel of a watermill."
In addition to being horizontal, the invention also has a different type of blade and is mounted on top of a ramp.
The product would stand about five meters high, so it could be safely attached to a roof to generate household elecricity. The apparent advantages of this innovation include improved safety (specifically for birds) greater durability. This idea is still under development, but if the manufacturing and distribution hurdles can be overcome, it could soon be seen at an eco-friendly home near you.
