Love the concept

Good idea. As it is, wind turbines are only useful where there is wind and otherwise they just stand there and look pretty. Thats one reason why wind turbines are often considered inefficient. With your design they could be moved to areas with more wind and live a more useful life.

Thanks Gordon. I was actually thinking after I finished this that an auger could be added to the front or back to drill a hole. A telescopic boom section could then drop down in the hole after the mast is erected to increase stability.

Thanks Peter. I'm much honored to be an inspiration and in your reference file.

Great idea and fantastic design... but how long would it have to be running to get back the energy used in getting the thing there and erecting it? Dont want to put down the idea, but thats often one of the arguements against putting wind farms out at sea...

Mr. Pope....you crank out some seriously impressive work. Your work is a staple of my inspiration and reference file.

genius! Just a thouhgt, perhaps the stabilizers could auger into the ground to add more support, not to take away from a brilliant concept. Keep em comin!
