Here are a few of the more innovative and interesting small wind turbines designs I’ve found at Windpower 2008.
This turbine is from Dallas-based BroadStar Windsystems (one of the new American turbine designers I found). This AeroCam turbine can be used on top of urban buildings (picture several of them across the top of a stadium, for example) and even in between typical turbines at a rural wind farm. What’s more, BroadStar claims that this turbine can achieve $1 per watt installed.
This small turbine is from IR Windpower. They currently manufacture both large and small designs throughout Asia, but they’re eying the European and U.S. markets next

This turbine from KR Windpower stands only about 4-5 feet off the ground. The company is based in Korea, with offices in China and California:
And finally, the always attractive SkyStream turbine by Southwest WindPower. This is the model George Bush Sr. installed at his Kennebunkport home:
