1.0 out of 5 stars Solar Wind Turbine Model is not as advertized, October 2, 2009

This Solar Wind Turbine is not as advertized.
The Technical Details stated: Blade is geared, so it rotates at realistic speed.
This is not true, and I am not happy when I purchase something that is not as advertized.
There are no gears between the solar motor and the blade.
It is direct drive from the solar motor to the blade, and the blade runs way too fast (like a fan).
This unit was somewhat difficult to assemble,, and assembly instructions were not provided.
On a scale of 1 to 10, this product gets a 1.

I like the idea of this product. It totally worked when I put it together. I just feel like the plastic components could be broken easily and for the price of the product it could be made with metal.
