Most small wind turbines operate on a horizantal base, and are small enough to be used by homeowners and small businesses as an alternative or supplementary energy source. Vertical access turbines are available, but may be prohibitavely expensive for private citizens.
Small wind turbines are built up of a rotor, a generator, a mainframe, and a tail. The rotor captures the energy from the wind, using it to power the generator. The generator then provides energy to the structure. The blades that capture the wind are often made of fiberglass or wood, and are both strong and flexible.
Most small wind turbines are placed on top of a tower, to allow them optimum exposure to the wind. Towers range in height from 50 to 150 feet, depending on the environment in which the turbine is erected. If you plan to erect a small wind turbine, it is best to purchase your turbine and tower from the same source. You may even be able to have it installed for you, saving you time and energy.
Wind energy is becoming a popular alternative energy source for homes, farms, and businesses. Take advantage of the power of the wind - consider erecting a small wind turbine on your property today!
