Last week I had a chance to field test my new Windwalker 250 RV Wind Turbine while boondocked near Zion National Park in Southern Utah.

i was wondering how much noise the thing made. it is an interesting product and something to think about if you live in an area or travel to an area that is known for winds. unfortunately, i could not make out everything you said because of the wind noise with the camera. thanks for posting it though. again, its an interesting idea for sure.
