A Scottish company has successfully tested oscillating aerofoils it says may convert wind to electricity at ground level, as cheaply and efficiently as current wind turbines. (www.katricktechnologies.com)

I really wish there was more info on the cost of the new design. I know with turbines, cost efficiency is better for larger sizes. I would expect the “Wind Panel” would have similar cost/power scaling or are there other factors which make these cheaper?
