I just started working for a company called NorthWest WIndpower. I AM NOT ATTEMPTING TO SELL ANYTHING. Just gathering opinion. If these were made portable, which they are developing as of now, I think these could be incredibly useful on the playa! To power all your camping needs and stay green! Whadda u think?

Definately have an artsy look to them. How much electric do they generate and what's the price point?

Price point is, for lack of a better word EXPENSIVE...But its a new technology, its not a ball just to look cool, its a ball for some complicated thermal/aerodynamic efficiency...and so it DOESNT KILL BIRDS...which is a nice plus.

$11,900, for the smaller model,

double that for the larger one but it produces 4x the power...

Im brand new, so you would have to hit up the website for power output info... But with the massive amount of wind at the burn I am certain the small model would FULLY power a smaller (50-100) size camp, music and all...
