"MILWIND: A new way of looking at the wind."

Huh?

It's a Savonius wind turbine (VAWT), which, according to Wikipedia 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savonius_wind_turbine):

[was] invented by the Finnish engineer Sigurd J Savonius in 1922.

...

Because they are drag-type devices, Savonius turbines extract much less of 
the wind's power than other similarly-sized lift-type turbines. Much of the 
swept area of a Savonius rotor is near the ground, making the overall energy 
extraction less effective due to lower wind speed at lower heights.
