Mast-R Wind Turbine "Found at the Boat Show"

[@SapphosSails]

Weird that your never hear anything about vertical axis turbines for boats 12 years later! Where are they?

[@JoaoAmadoTV]

Are the still open for business?

[@JeremyHolovacs]

How does this affect the wind profile of the sail plan? What if a line gets caught in it?

[@hhiser6206]

Can this be propperly mounted to a Carbon Fiber mast?

[@401ksolar]

Wow these people are marketing a micro version of the calypso electric sailboat that Jacques Cousteau had built back in the 1970s, it had a single turbine 30 ft in the air and a cowling around it with a tail to reduce losses, as I recall a scrapper in Washington State got a hold of it and started powering their house with it, none the less I don't think birds will try to land on these LOL

[@RVLifeNOW]

Why can’t you mount just a single one on the stern arch? And how much does it weigh? -Rebecca

[@charonstyxferryman]

I'm not quite sure i understand your question correctly (English isn't my native language), but ... any wind turbine will produces a lot more energy the higher it is above the surface.

Can I have one on my balcony

[@basilandrea6840]

I have better idea that i can harvest 2 direction of wind for more power and speed. Regards

Where are you located?

[@pepelepewx]

could you power a boat with these and batteries. submarines can be powered by batteries, why not a boat?
