US Wind Energy Technology - On the Cutting Edge of Science VII

The seventh wind energy innovation to come out of the USA!

7. WePOWER

What It Is:
The WePOWER is a vertical-axis wind turbine that operates quietly and performs well in low-speed winds.

How It Works:
Unlike many turbines, which either rely solely on lift (in the case of traditional three-blade turbines) or drag (used in wind-speed gauge anemometers), WePOWER uses a combination of both. Its unique airfoil lets it produce power at low wind speeds.

Where To Find It:
At Jay Leno's garage, of course. WePOWER turbines are also used in wind farms, homes, cell towers and buildings.
