The Quietrevolution is an elegant 6kW vertical axis wind turbine designed and developed by XCO2 is coming to a town near you in early 2006. It is virtually silent and free of vibration with just one moving part making maintenance simple. It is designed to run for 25 years generating electricity at wind speeds of between 4.5 and 16 metres per second. Depending on the geographical location of the turbine and its height, total power generation is between 5000 and 1000kW hours.

LEDs (light emitting diodes) can be embedded into the turbine blades and turned on and off in sequence as the turbine rotates displaying an amazing hovering image which is visible night and day.
