Wind turbines are devices that convert energy into electricity. Local wind conditions determine placement, while aerodynamic modeling determines the shape of the blade, the orientation of the axis and the number of blades or other wind-catching forms. All...

The first thing to look at, before you ever consider converting to wind power, is the area where you live. A windmill solution obviously requires wind. More specifically you want wind speeds that exceed 8MPH on average. Even 8MPH is considered a low-wind-...

With the threat of global warming looming over the horizon,we all must consider new alternative energy sources. In my mind there are quite a few reasons to pursue such an endeavor.Whether it be to help cut fossil fuel emissions or save money on your util...

With energy prices soaring as fossil fuels on our planet are decreasing, alternative fuels must be searched for. Many energy resources come naturally, and wind power is one of them. In fact,You have the ability to build a wind generator to develop your ...

With power bills soaring as fossil fuels on our planet are shrinking, alternative fuels must be found. Many energy resources come naturally, and wind power is one of them. In fact,You have the ability to build a wind generator to fabricate your own power....

Power kites are kites which are large in size and created to allow for a great deal of pull to the user. This allows them to be used for pulling people and things, such as surf/snow boards, roller skates, landboards and even small buggies. They are used f...

The first large windmill to produce electricity was the American multi-blade design, built in 1888. It's 12-kilowatt capabilities were later supposed by modern 70-100 kilowatt wind turbines. No prior art has been disclosed that uses a mechanical advantage...

People have been using wind turbine power for centuries. In the past, wind turbines were used to carry and distribute water for irrigation or to mill grain. Nowadays, wind turbines are used to generate electricity. Due to ongoing progress in wind t...
