Big Dreams For Small Wind Turbines As huge wind farms get up and running to generate electricity on mountaintops and in fields, another market for wind energy is also emerging, known as "small ...

Small wind turbines are more efficient than solar photovoltaic systems and the payback period is five to 10 years in a region with adequate wind resources, according to senior analyst Peter Asmus.

In this informative and engaging video, learn how to make a small but powerful wind generator right at home. Perfect for DIY ...

Wind turbine power, like solar power, is an infinitely renewable form of energy, it does not require any fuel for operation, and it doesn’t generate any harmful air or water pollution.

Small wind turbines have capacities of up to 100 kW, midsized wind turbines are between 101 kW and 1 MW and large wind turbines have a capacity of greater than 1 MW, ...

The turbine can capture the wind, but it’s intended to harness the air movement of passing vehicles. Thompson says that a small car passing the turbine at 50 miles per hour displaces air at 12 ...

At the back end of the cavernous room, there was the 6-foot-high turbine, a table with some testing equipment, and a truck trailer that had been converted into a low-cost wind tunnel.

He senses public interest in small-scale wind power that does not have much to do with dollars-and-cents analysis. "People seem fascinated by the turbines," Leno said. "You go, 'Look!

Industry groups said the directive could create new delays and bottlenecks for renewable energy projects across the country.

Canadian company Aurea has developed a portable wind turbine that fits in your backpack. Called Shine, it weighs just three pounds, it’s about the size of a water bottle, and it can charge any ...

Small wind turbines have capacities of up to 100 kW, midsized wind turbines are between 101 kW and 1 MW and large wind turbines have a capacity of greater than 1 MW, ...

“Small wind turbines generally produce less per area of rotor, because they are lower down than big wind turbines and hence see less wind at every moment in time,” he says.
