I can explain how you were taken:

"I researched their info and others long ago and it appeared efficient and feasible."

These shady companies post completely fraudulent Power Curves or use ridiculous parameters to state how much energy they will produce. Their old Power Curve fell into the fraudulent category. Some of us on Yahoo independently ran Betz Law calculations based on their stated specs and proved their Power Curve defied the laws of physics! Let's look at their current Power Curve that is possible, but probably also made up:

http://sauerenergy.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=162&Itemid=80

First a primer as some are confused by "power" and "energy". Power is what is produced at the moment and energy is power over time. Power is the watts or kilowatts produced and energy is best known to you as kWh or kilowatt hour from your electric bill.

A 6m/s wind speed produces 250watts of power. 6m/s = 13.42mph. Do you have a wind speed of 13.42mph 24/7/365? Of course not. 250 watts =.25kWh which is 6kWh per day. Look at your electric bill. You probably pay around 12 cents per kWh which means that at a CONSTANT 13.42mph wind the WindCutter can produce about 72 cents of energy a day! That is $262.80 worth of electricity a year. At an installed price of around $30,000 that mean it will take you 114 years to just pay off the unit. Still think it is feasible? That is based on a higher wind resource than what you probably have.

Look at their Power Curve again. See that 2,500 watts at 13m/s? That is a wind speed of 29.08mph! Sauer tells you that you will get this 2,500 watts 24/7/365 with a constant gale force wind. That is the scam. Notice the unit is only rated for 1,500 watts and the 2,500 watts at 29mph wind is a temporary breakaway wind speed and the unit can't handle that and must brake or burn up. Even IF it could produce 2,500 watts 24/7/365 it would still have a payback period of 11.4 years. Now can you see how ridiculous it is?

ATA Engineering will test whatever a client gives them to test. ATA Engineering was given a completely different unit than what is currently billed as a WindCutter. I showed you the export documents that it was a 2.5kW unit and not a 1.5kW unit sent to ATA Engineering.

"I believe you stated the unit was not now undergoing certification testing"

I don't state it. Verify it for yourself that they never even APPLIED for certification. I showed you PRs from 6 years ago where they said they were in the process of becoming certified. It has been an ongoing, blatant lie!

That's right. It takes a constant 29mph wind speed to give you a 11.4 year payback period! Not only a ridiculous premise, but the 1.5kW unit is not capable of producing the 2.5kw for any duration without burning up!
