quietrevolution
An elegant vertical-axis wind turbine, quietrevolution has been designed and developed by XCO2, an established low-carbon energy consultancy and engineering practice.Virtually silent and vibration free, quietrevolution is ideally suited to both urban sites and exposed locations.
The simple and robust design (patent pending) has just one moving part, maximising reliability and minimising maintenance requirements.
quietrevolution offers clear advantages over conventional turbines:
• Compact, ‘S' blade design
• Virtually silent operation
• Minimal vibration
• Robust performance, even in turbulent winds
• Ease of integration into columns and buildings
The design is currently in pre-production and will undergo final tests and assessment before the first commercial installations in winter 2005. Early customers include city councils, home owners and architects, all of whom share a common vision of renewable energy with sophisticated design

I saw this a little while ago. They also had one with led lights on it so when it was spinning it would create a light show.
yeah, I saw the led lights, too. I thought it was tacky, but it might keep birds away, eh? Maybe I'll post a pic with the leds and take a vote.
