As an avid wildlife lover, one of the outrageous abuses
of these beautiful beings we share the planet with is
the brutal smashing, often to death, of birds by the huge
and inefficient 3-blade wind turbine farms.
I have been sending out a letter to wildlife clubs, mostly
Audubon chapters, pointing out that Jim McCanney's
WING generator design could, if adopted as a lower
profile replacement, (probably on a smaller more local
scale, less intrusively,) end the bird slaughter problem.
I'm happy to report that in an initial test batch of 36
letters, 82 people have viewed the image of Jim's
prototype. This suggests some interest among wildlife
enthusiasts, so I'll be continuing to post this brief
letter below. Note Jim's testimonial concerning birds
in the vicinity of his prototype:
LETTER:
James M. McCanney, M.S. Physics, is a scientist,
mathematician and inventor. Jim has been developing
an alternative to the huge 3-blade wind turbines, which
are killing our beautiful birds on a regular basis.
This alternative product is called the WING generator.
Jim reasons that by increasing the "solidity" of a wind
turbine, all of the air moving through the turbine area
will be tapped for power. This in turn means a smaller
unit can suffice, and very significantly for wildlife, the
birds can SEE every part of the turbine area, unlike the
huge, open 3-blade designs.
This should come close to eliminating the death of the
innocent avian victims of current wind turbine install-
ations. Supporting Jim's design when new wind farms
are under local discussion may be worth your consider-
ation.
As Jim develops his product, here is what he reports
about birds flying in the vicinity of his prototype:
"... I have personally seen birds fly up and 'hover' in front,
just looking at it in amazement ... then fly around ... we
have never had a bird hit in spite of the fact that I feed
birds right off the base of the wing ... hundreds of birds
come daily and never a single injury let alone death ..."
Jim has provided me a photo of one of his prototypes,
which is posted here:

Jim's web site, which includes information on his many
areas of interest and contact information is:

My personal interest in this project is that I'm a wild-
life lover, and would very much like to see the end of
the huge 3-blade wind turbines and the wounding
and killing of the birds. (I have no business
connection with Jim's project.)
