US Wind Energy Technology - On the Cutting Edge of Science X
The tenth and final wind energy innovation to come out of the USA!
10. Sky Serpent
What It Is:
The Sky Serpent makes use of multiple rotors attached to a single generator.
How It Works:
Past multirotor turbines have run into trouble because their rotors just catch the wind generated by the spin of neighboring rotors. The Sky Serpent's rotors are spaced and angled to ensure that each one is catching fresh wind.
Where To Find It:
These turbines are being built and tested in California, in part funded the California Energy Commission.
Please go to www.youtube.com and type in "Sky Serpent Superturbine Prototype Demonstration" for video material on the technology.
