Our company has developed a vertical axis turbine which is specifically designed to be placed on rooftops within an urban environment, for example a turbine or a series of turbines placed on top of a flat roofed building such as a hospital or a school, could generate sufficient power to satisfy the needs of that building and generate an income for the Health Board or Local Authority.
 
Blimp Flight - Submitted Photos PDF E-mail

Following the successful launch of the blimp to 125 metres, demonstrating the height of the turbines to the tip of a blade when pointing upwards, we have received a number of photos taken from properties in the surrounding villages. Click on the photos to view them at larger size.

 

When viewing these photos, please bear in mind that the blimp is only 6 metres long & 2.5 metres high. The actual span of the turbine blades will be closer to 60 metres. The image below will give you some idea of the size of the blimp compared to the proposed height of the turbines and a jumbo jet.
