Could that be the same person as the MIT student who, as part of some kind of initiation, was used to measure the distance from the campus to Boston in "Smoots"?

What kind of "efficiency" would that be - all *I* personally care about is Watt-Hour/USD!?
I.e: Is is economically viable?

Make that "useful Watt-hour/USD". One of the problems with the very efficient wind generators is that they only really work in a strongish but not too strong of wind. They make a whole lot of power when the wind is right but you have to find a way to store for when it isn't.
Large low tech designs can often make useful power over a wider range of wind speeds.

You really don't expect anyone to know what the diameter is of the rubber grommet that holds the bulb stem and wiring in place in your shitbox 1994 GM pickup, rear fender lamp holder do you?
Nobody but you gives a flying f*ck about that. And nobody at GM gives a flying f*ck about you.
Let me make this clear so that you will understand correctly.
In the eyes of business, be it manufacturing, sales or service, as a consumer, you are cattle to be milked of as much money as possible.
As one KKKapitalist KKKonservative said above. "Workers are parasites."
