December 14, 200817 yr Good to know that Subaru is investing in the future... do you think they will come up with a boxer 4 battery arrangement?
December 15, 200817 yr FHI makes their own turbines The Eco Technologies Company has used FHI’s aircraft- related technologies to develop and market 40kW compact wind-power systems and 100kW midsize wind-power systems, and it is moving forward with the development of 2,000kW large-scale wind-power systems able to meet the power needs of approximately 1,500 households. This large-scale system, the Subaru 80/2.0, employs a downwind-type wind turbine that keeps the rotors slightly downwind of the base tower. While downwind-type wind turbines are rarely seen anywhere in the world, they have special performance features that enable them to make good use of the updrafts that are characteristic of locations with mountainous and hilly terrain. The Company is seeking to expand its wind-power business and thereby help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by developing technologically distinctive wind-power systems suited for the unique geographical and weather conditions of Japan, which has many small islands and mountain valleys and a high incidence of powerful typhoons and lightning storms. http://www.fhi.co.jp/english/outline/section/ecotech.html
