US Wind Energy Technology - On the Cutting Edge of Science III
The next wind energy innovation to come out of the USA
3. The Windspire:
What It Is:
The Windspire is a vertical wind turbine, similar to the Quiet Revolution. This 30-foot tall, 4-foot wide turbine generates 2000 kilowatts per hour given 12-mph winds, and it can survive winds up to 105 mph.
How It Works:
Windspire has a tall, thin propellerless rotor. It generates power when wind spins its vertical airfoils.
Where To Find It:
These wind turbines have been installed across the county in homes, museums, businesses and schools. For example, the Michigan governor's residence has a wind turbine, and Quinnipiac College in Connecticut is planning to use the turbines on campus to help power its buildings.
