The wind turbine patented by TESNIC is a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT), defined by a rotor assembly having more than 200 disks stacked one on top of each other with a narrow gap between them (≈2mm). The rotor also includes on the circumference of the stacked disks a plurality of twisted airfoil blades as such to redirect the air flow tangentially to the disks surface.

Apparently it uses airfoils, similar to airplane wings, that surround the turbine's curved, vertical blades. The interaction between the airfoils and blades produces low pressure which actually accelerates wind flow.

This is the goat-rental company (rent a ruminant) that the city hired to clear the brush adjacent to the dog park. See my previous Fave for details. Here is the info if you want to hire a herd for your own purposes:
1 FaverViewed: 6 TimesQuoted: Minimum herd size is 60 goats and 3 days.
The area must be at least 8,000 square feet and have access for a 40 foot truck and trailer.
Tammy lives in her truck on-site and 24-hour access to a bathroom (or Port-A-Potty) must be provided.
60 goats can eat about 1/4 acre (10,000 sq feet) in about 3-5 days. - sudha - 9 days ago1 FaverViewed: 3 Times
