cool Do you know if its managing to operate as a lift based device or still only as drag based ie does it spin faster than the wind or slower? vertical axis wind turbines are awesome.

it goes faster to a certain speed and then the drag of the blades keeps it from over-speeding. i was attracted to the design as it only has one moving part.
