Wind Power Generators

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 [...]

A vertical axis wind turbine is a turbine with the main axis arranged vertically. This arrangement allows the turbine to catch the wind no matter which direction it is blowing from. This type of turbine is best for areas where the wind direction is variable, as it can use wind coming from any direction.

When contemplating installing a residential wind turbine on your property, it is important to know how this energy saving resource actually works. A wind turbine is placed at the top of a tall tower, and collects wind energy that is then converted to an electrical current compatible with that of your home. In essence, you [...]

Wind power generators are devices which are used in the generation of electrical current and are powered by the wind. Like in the days of yore, old fashioned windmills, today’s wind machines use blades to collect the kinetic energy made by wind. Windmills work because their blades slow down the speed of the wind. The [...]
