Comment on This is the first silent home wind turbine that destroys solar panels - 1500 kWh of free electricity

While it’s neat that it can automatically adjust for varying wind directions, does it have any way of adapting to very high wind speeds without exploding from too much wind force, like in a hurricane?

Harmony Turbines suffers neither of these problems…

Looks like its also a helix design made for high wind, so the answer is likely yes.

The design of the Liam F1 Mini is best suited for cities because turbulence is a characteristic of the wind within city limits. In such conditions, conventional turbines are ineffective; on the contrary, the Liam F1 is designed to perform well.

It actually has a helix-like structure, so it can self-adjust to face the wind in the same way that a weather vane moves. These features guarantee optimal performance and power generation irrespective of fluctuating, oscillating wind conditions.

  I did read that part, but it only mentions self-adjusting the direction. It mentions nothing about furling up or any other self protective measures during dangerously high winds.
