I think Make: just jumped the shark.

I like their stuff, but there are so many things wrong here it's absurd.

If this was an all scrap project I might be able to disregard that, I might even be able to let the completely unlikely flywheel motor go, but the crazy hard to find pvc pipe killed it.

An off the shelf micro-turbine costs $600, I want to know if making one of these with all its rare components saves any money, relative to buying one which will actually work for more than a week.

RadioShack bridge rectifier $2
Gel-cell lead acid golf batteries $200

Ruining or blowing up those batteries in high wind... Priceless

The smoothie was made using energy obtained from driving the truck around.

Invocations (lies) cannot be called by TurkeyJaws because TurkeyJaws is not privileged - sorry.

I think they were just demonstrating its capabilities, TurkeyJaws, not claiming that mounting it on the back of a truck produced free energy.
