The Jellyfish is a 36-inch-tall rooftop wind turbine that you plug right into any outlet and generate up to 40 kWh a month. The Jellyfish is currently a finalist in Google’s Project10tothe100, where people were asked to submit videos that will change the world for the better for a shot at $10 million.
“For me, so many of these [wind] systems just aren’t practical,” inventor Chad Maglaque told the Seattle Times, referring to expenses and inspections with standard wind turbines. “I should be able to go down to Costco and pick one up by a big jar of mayonnaise.”
Although the deadline for submissions is up, you can still get inspired by voting for your favorite ideas, which you can do on March 17.

at 800.00 this is not worth it, per the makers site it will save you about $60.00 a year. Thats less than $5.00 a month and if your local power goes out it shuts off. Just another WOW it’s wind powered consumer ripe off. Educate yourself of literally pay the price.
