Vertical Axis Wind Turbine With Push and Pull

Sterling D. Allan writes "After 10 years of prototyping, wind tunnel testing, patenting, and tweaking, Ron Taylor of Cheyenne (windy) Wyoming is ready to take his vertical axis wind turbine into commercial production. Design creates pull on the back side contributing to 40%+ wind conversion efficiencies. Because it spins at wind speed, it doesn't kill birds, and it runs more quietly. It also doesn't need to be installed as high, and it can withstand significantly higher winds (can generate in winds up to 70 mph, compared to ~54 mph tops for propeller designs). Generating costs estimated at 2.5 cents per kilowatt-hour, putting it in the lead pocket-book-wise not just of wind and solar, but of conventional power as well. Production prototype completion expected in 5-7 months."

    Fucking Islams and their medievil tactics using force to spread the holey word of the koran - doesnt it just piss you off?
    This is now the 20th century and yet they continue to use 14th century strong arm terror tactics to spread the word of their virul brainwashing.

    Hi, I'm The_Fire_Horse and you might remember me from such posts as
    IsPorn - the 5 pillars of masturbation, and
    Muslem Women - YUK - cover up your face, biatch - YOU UGLY!

    Today, we will continue our investigation into this so called "Religeon of Peace" that is IsSLUM.

    Without rehashing the lists here, it is clear that over 95% of all riots, terror attacks and religous based murders have been conducted by muslims in the last 25 years. Dont get me wrong, Christians were absolute pricks during the crusades and just about ALL religeons have been arseholes at some point during their existance. The thing is, we are not talking about the dark ages, or medievil times - this is 2005, and we as a people should know better.

    People who talk against muSLUMs are often killed (taco - please dont post my IP - ktx), for example Salman Rushdie and that poor bastard in the netherlands. You just cannot seem to talk about islam without fear of retribution - all other religeons, for hundreds of years have at least tolerated debate - Hell, just yesterday the fucking vatican stated that 'Intelligent Design' isnt all it cracked up to be (HA - take that Bush!)

    So, what can the average Slashdotter do to fix this situation?
    ANSWER
    1. Keep an on the the patterns of violence mathematically (I may be a troll, but you cannot argue against the sheer volume of news reports) so that you see that it is muSLUMs causing all the trouble

    2. Be aware that discussions about the downsides of isSLUM can be hazardous to your health. Try a simple argument with a muslim person on a non serious topic - then say "ALLAH IS A CUNT" and watch your learned friend hit the roof and pull out a knife from the teatowel on his head. Duck and cover.

    3. Vote 'HELL NO' to having islam control YOUR country (that is their target, and the core purpose of all the jihads - to have islam based governments and their 'own' laws [shudder]

    Stand united fellow slashdot geeks - together we can spread the word that we DO NOT WANT ISLUM IN OUR GOVERNMENT thank you very much


    Always remember the slogan: "ALLAH be FUCKED if I let Muslims run MY country!"

    With the ability to generate power at winds up to 70mph, this gizmo
    might even work during a hurricane! Just what we need in Florida!
