USA - US Wind Energy Technology - On the Cutting Edge of Science VIII
The eigth wind energy innovation to come out of the USA!
8. Spiral Drag Wind Turbine
What It Is:
This vertical axis turbine uses drag propulsion to push the blade that is designed as an involute spiral.
How It Works:
The turbine uses aluminum vanes formed into an involute spiral—giving the blade extremely high surface area—to capture wind and rotate.
Where To Find It:
The design is still in developmental stages.
