How does it work, do you have to have large batteries that get charged by the turbines then you run a circuit off that, or there some kind of automatic load balancing for the whole house? Sorry to go a little off topic, it's just interesting stuff.

I wonder how hard it'd be to get a permit in Calgary for those. It's already a little bit absurd how hard it can be to get permits for solar panels - although I think I've heard that council is considering softening the process a bit to encourage green thinking - but I don't think anything's come of it as yet. So something that's moving and a bit of a visual attractant, man I could just see those bureaucrats having a hey day with it.
