Have seen some small wind generators with vertical design vs the fan-blade types

Anyone know/use a wind generator to help provide electric/battery power?
The wind in Nokomis averages at least 6 mi an hour during a hot month like July and goes up to 9 during most of the others—
It is possible to find a wind generator that functions as low as 6 mi an hour—
Vertical generators take up less space visually and physically, are less noisy, disrupt birds less, are less impacted by high winds, and can be less $—
So might be a good possibility for supplementing power

Are you kidding? I know no one who is dumb enough to buy an expensive windmill to save a few bucks on their electric bill. What would be recapture period?

You really didn’t need to answer since your response is totally unhelpful
