#3These people are charging for the f'ing IP! They won't let you just use the design, they want to profit off of you paying them royalties.

#41 kW, 4,900€ for what looks like a mediocre high school science fair project?
You could build something as good with duct tape and an old washing machine for the cost of picking it up for free when the owner is trying to get rid of it without paying to have it picked up.
The Vevor 1 kW wind mill that looks like a windmill instead of TechCrunch×MadMax is $300.

#5I’ve been looking for a wind turbine you could deploy on the roof. I’ve got 15 kW of inverter capacity available.
So far my conclusion has been that it’s not yet time for this.

#6There are exceptionaly well understood minimum requirements needed to build wing turbines and other primary power equipment, the thing shown quite clearly meets none of them, and in fact appears to be built like a folding lawn chair, or perhaps an umbrella, but in any case, not the sort of thing you leave to the mercy of the wind.

Wouldn't noise be a concern?
And what is the failure mode?

Also vibrations. Wind turbines are not meant to be close to residential areas.

Won't these things just fall off your roof though?
Re: One KW wind turbine without civil engineering
#10Consumer solar has been a game changer, so doing the same for wind would be a huge innovation. But the reasons everyone doesn't already have wind generators on their roof is it's a much harder problem to solve. Not least of which is wind speeds are significantly lower closer to the ground. So I expect their 1kw output has a very narrow "optimal conditions" window. This might work if you live in a desert? Though given enough time with climate change...
