Make Wind Power

You have seen a windmill in most typical Holland postcards. It looks similar to airplane propellers but instead of stirring the wind to create a powerful thrust to move the plane, it does the reverse. A typical wind turbine waits for the wind blow in order to work. So depending on the wind direction the propeller must turn to face the wind flow perpendicularly. Usually, a yaw or a flipper that looks like an airplane’s tail is used to guide the wind blades to face the wind. (more…)

Small wind turbine generators are used at farms or small industrial sites and homes. It is also used with diesel generators or connected to electrical supply grid. Those connected to electrical grids only pays for the electricity they use from the electrical company. The small systems located in remote areas and distant from electrical grid supply maintain sufficient electrical supply through the use of batteries and other energy storage gadget. (more…)
