10 mph wind is caught in the collector, accelerates to 40 mph at the Venturi then exhausted at 15 mph.
So then a 60 mph wind accelerates to 240 mph and is exhausted at 90 mph ?

Doesn't sound right to me.

When a conventional wind mill exceeds its recommended wind speed, they turn out of the wind path to prevent over speeding and damage.

How is that controlled in this design ?

Variable pitch blades ?

What sucks about things like this is that the amount of information
released is vague at best.
