And found that consistent wind speeds are low, not enough to make the move to wind turbine.

The https://windexchange.energy.gov/maps-data/325 shows the average annual wind speed at 30 meters
height is less than 5 meters per second. The Halo turbine particularly unique capabilities could accommodate generation at those low speeds.
I would be willing to invest in the 12 ft Halo if the initial cost and rate of return were effective and feasible.
Also a smaller model , perhaps as beta tested, for rurul, off grid , remote use -Would Be Great !!!
Thanks You Halo !!
Also researching the combination of wind and solar for rural use – communications, schools, commerce.

Then again there is the cost and affordability factor for the rural majority in the 90% bracket. I wonder if a miniature version could be possibly tried out for small portable and home kit type arrangement.
