Pah, windmills, the real action's at solar power where with a mirror array focused onto a black pipe full of water which sends the steam to a sterling engine and a generator some major power can be made. I apologise for the crummy news announcer style people but they have unfortunately come along with the video on a 12kW generator using a small-ish array in Australia, demonstrated in the video at up to 3.5kWhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTvAL7ty53M
So you might just power a psion5 with that in this country!Mind you the power spend downloading and watching the purely irrelevant part of the video will never be repaid....
I'm not convinced a lot of work needs to be done on hydrogen generation/storage - its was 85% efficient a long time ago. It just needs to be mass produced to bring the cost down - ditto inverters.If one of these could be put together here in the UK I'd be blooming amazed but also willing to help out with the extension that is hydrogen generation and storage.
