New type of wind power?

The Da gave me a link to an apparently new way of generating electricity from wind. Its neither a horizontal or vertical turbine. Here's the link so see what you think

Looks interesting. I've no idea what the payback time for an average household might be though, as they seem a bit pricey (see the order forms)...I suppose shipping might add considerably to the cost? Anyone got a feel for how this compares to the small domestic turbines in terms of output and value?

Looks like they have converted their air raid sirens:p. They are a dam sight better than those offshore wind machines though. It would be a small price to pay for free energy that could probably provide power for a couple of houses, or small business.
