GE 'Your Wind Turbine In A Box'

I’ve finally managed to snag a model wind turbine. Thanks to Jay Wilgar at AIM Powergen, I now have a GE Your Wind Turbine in a Box 1/265 scale turbine, complete with tiny plastic cow.

    So where’s the photo of this little wonder?

    That’s so cute! Does it have batteries, so you can use it as a desk fan in summer? 😉

    Sorry, no. It’s taken me some years in the industry to get one.

    Sir,

    I’m with the Rhode Island (USA) Wind Alliance. Our director had a similar model but recently as it was on display at a event it took a spill to the disappointment of us all.

    Any tips for tracking a new one down?

    Best,
    Warrick

    Talk to your GE dealer, Warrick. These are probably the easiest ones to get. Vestas, Siemens and Enercon are harder to get.

    I work at Vestas. These models can be bought by all Vestas employees in the company store.

    HELP!!! I need to get a turbine model by next week. Looking for something about 10 inches high. Can you tell me where you get this one?

    thanks SO much.

    Sorry, Vicky – these are kind of hard to get. GE, Siemens, Vestas and Enercon give them out to customers.

    I came across one. It’s for sale for the right price. I love it but if you love it more then we can talk. Happy New Years everybody.

    The way they made it looks so realistic. Do the blades spin?

  14. scruss Avatar

    Yes they do!
