Following the
link above, (thanks onetrack!) we see that one module produces the following:

A WindWall turbine consists of one or more interconnectable modules. The specification of a standard module is:
Rotor diameter: 1990 mm
Length: 5 m.
Mass: 1500 kg
Nominal capacity: 2 kW
Yearly production: 1500-4500 kWh/y dependent on wind and location
|
So the 9000 kWh quoted from the article is the absolute most that two of these modules can provide in a year. A typical US household uses 10,219 kWh in a year.
The bottom line? The turbines pictured in this IOD don't even produce enough power to run one typical US household, but if it's a very windy location, they come close.
