When he (Danish Inventor) was 15, he wanted to impress his mother with a kite, and that crazy idea ended up leading him to design a home turbine.

Small sail boats usually have a small wind turbine mounted that charges the on-board batteries.

Yeah, I have one of those on my boat, thats why I am curious for a more household level of production, similar to what plug in solar produces

I think this Danish invention might be the best thing. I've not seen anything in between.
