MITS22 - Google says PACWIND with a dealer at desertpowerline.com
I kinda like this idea as well. The guy I was talking at a campground had a shaft that ran down inside his trailer and used something he called magnetic bearings.

I don't remember what KW size he had but he was using to store power in batteries of course like solar does......

PACWIND
MITTs - after looking at these specs this is alot bigger than the one I was looking at mounted on top of this guys trailer. It was around 18-inchs in dia maybe two feet tall... The design of the blades looked just like this one. I'll dig around and see what Ican find. I had the model number a couple years back so bet I talked about on here a few years back... Gonna look for VAWT types on google...
