The 65-foot turbine is a one-eighth scale The more cost-effective floating wind farm approach should help keep electricity prices down to about 10 cents per kilowatt hour by 2020, which is competitive with other means of electricity production, Dagher said. A skyscraper covered in thousands of tiny bristles is the novel proposal by a Swedish architecture firm for turning a building into a wind power generator. Our goal On May 9th, 2013, after a year of mechanical design, fabrication and testing, the team completed the first-ever fully autonomous flight of a kite power system. It eliminates 90% of the material used in conventional wind turbines, and can access winds both at higher altitudes and above deep waters offshore — resources that are currently untapped. It's true that wind turbines kill birds. The turbine design is called VolturnUS, a combination of the words volt, turn and U.S., a name that happens to be shared by Volturnus, the Roman god of the east wind. A well known supplier of small wind turbines. Supplier of 12ft and 24 ft diameter wind turbines. Marchant2 June 10, 2013 at 7:30 am. Makani is developing a 600 kW AWT, for utility scale generation at a cost below conventional solar and wind. A new vertical axis design that is targeted for urban locations. How many people die each year because of inhaling soot produced by coal power plants? Multi-megawatt wind turbines aim for a low nacelle head weight and a minimum cabling effort between the generator, converters and transformer. Along with all of the professional people, there is a physically/economically optimal design that the vast majority of wind generators have converged to: the three-bladed, horizontal-axis wind turbine. He was able to generate electricity and pump water using pure green energy.
