Building the "tree" structure could be done with scrap metal.

I'm not sure how to weatherproof the 2 liter bottle.  I think maintaining the 2 liter bottles might out weigh it's purpose.  Water is a whole other issue - how do you keep it out of the tunnel?  I live in north Texas and our spring is brutal.  We actually have a "hail" season.  Durability seems to be the plague here.

Hello All, I'm new here and have found this to be a great source of information!   Have any of you ever heard of the "New Wind" thingy?

I found this interesting due to the amount of issues w/ wind turbines that this particular design solves.  Noise, size, aesthetics, and bird deaths.  The cost is actually comical and uneconomical - in my humble opinion.  I'm curious if any of you extremely clever folks have any ideas on how to apply that particular technology using scrap?
