Windtronix is looking for something similar to VIEG for its residential Vertical Axis Wind Turbine( 8-10KW). &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Seriously, I know it sounds condescending, but it&amp;#39;s actually a clever idea.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t see any real reason that a high pole-count armature and stator couldn&amp;#39;t be reconfigured on the fly. &amp;nbsp;Maximum of 6 IGBT&amp;#39;s or HEXFET&amp;#39;s per coil would do the trick.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your video engineering concept has such great potential why did you waste it for a &amp;nbsp;?product? &amp;nbsp;and add with no technical proof?&lt;/p&gt;
