The name of the wind turbine was given by one of its inventors Arman Akmuhanov. The development team also includes Konstantin Stahnov, Talgat Rahadilov and Ardak Berdibek, a graduate of the University of Stirling (Scotland). According to Ardak Berdibek, the windmill looks like a whirligig. It can withstand hurricane winds of up to 50 meters per second. Wind turbine "Genghis Khan" with a diameter of 5 meters is able to produce up to 10 kilowatts of electricity per hour. Even if it would produce only 30% of its capacity, it is still able to give 26 thousand kilowatts per year. Wind turbine payback period is claimed to be 4-5 years.
