I dont think the unit was more than 3-4 ft across.Rojhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12890579640105871479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282587.post-34682809233338336782009-02-02T02:36:00.000+00:002009-02-02T02:36:00.000+00:00Keith,I guess my imagination ran wild.

They're still at the very least one year away from actually commercializing this generator.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, they have not received any orders from Turkey relating to wind turbines. They have signed a license agreement with a company to help the Turkish company bring turbines to market. But as yet, NOTHING.<BR/><BR/>The real opportunities for AMSC continue to be in China (where the wind energy business is booming). AND, they have a tremendous opportunity in Korea via their licensing agreement with Hyundai Heavy Industries.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12010655845990343904noreply@blogger.com
