Scroll down below the quick links section to the silent wind camping. I don't have one yet but that sure looks interesting.

| I have shared anchorages with boats which were operating their wind generators. They were not silent. I would want to actually hear one operating in a variety of wind conditions before committing to one.

I see these turbines online for like 300-$400, I wonder what makes this item $1775! Perhaps the telescoping pole?

"not silent"  The ones I have heard in marinas would make even the cheapest loudest generator sound quiet. Hopefully they aren't all that way.

Like others have said, the only one I have seen are the telescoping poles with the plate to drive a wheel on. Looked to be pretty heavy and not very easy to transport.
Also, the noise is significant! We have a roadside camping area better know as the "Rincon Riveria" that fronts a steady wind off the ocean. If not for the surf noise, these would be terrible.
Keep us posted on what you find,
Eric
