Urban Wind Turbine QR5 from Quiet Revolution - no noise
With the introduction of the Quiet Revolution QR5 wind turbine, two major deterrents to the use of wind power – undesirable visual aesthetics and noise - have been resolved. The elegantly twisted design of the QR5 is more reminiscent of a moving sculpture than the hardworking machine that it is. This helical design is also credited with virtually eliminating noise and vibration. The compact size of a the Quiet Revolution QR5 – a little over 16 feet (5 meters) high and just under 10 feet (3 meters) in diameter – makes it easy to integrate into urban environments. The base unit adds about 29 feet (9 meters) to the overall height of an installation. Due to being constructed with a single moving part, maintenance is limited to an annual inspection. Construction professionals across the United Kingdom have responded enthusiastically to the QR5; specifying a diverse variety of projects with the turbine as a source of wind power. Quiet Revolution

Wind Power for the Home - residential wind power generation has evolved significantly
Practical residential wind power generation has evolved significantly in recent years to become a realistic option for many homeowners. The Skystream 3.7, from Southwest Windpower, is a self-contained unit capable of generating 400 kilowatt/hours of power per month with an average wind speed of only 12 miles per hour. Sleek design combined with quiet operation offer a solution that could significantly reduce or eliminate your electric bill without disrupting the neighbors. Some states provide incentives and/or tax rebates for home wind power users, providing further economic benefit.
