This is a ducted fan wind turbine:

SAFE, SILENT, VIBRATION FREE
The LIM is totally silent and produces no vibration. The
intake and exhaust apertures can be screened to protect
birds and butterflies from the fan rotation.

Our vertical axis units are easily installed, may be painted to blend
with the landscape, produce no noise or vibration, and are animal
friendly. Birds use obstacle recognition to detect objects while in
flight. Birds that encounter our units fly around the unit avoiding
any collision.
