2. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

   The generator, which is approximately 34% of the wind turbine cost, includes the electrical generator, [64] [65] the control electronics, and most likely a gearbox (e.g., planetary gear box), [66] adjustable-speed drive, or continuously variable transmission [67] component for converting the low-speed incoming rotation to high-speed rotation ...

3. Recreational vehicle terms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_vehicle_terms

   A gasoline, diesel or propane-powered device for generating 120 or 240 volts AC electrical power for use when boondocking or dry camping. Generators are rated by their electrical output, usually in watts. A minimum generator size for a small RV would be 1500 to 2000 watts. To run an RV air conditioner, a minimum of 3,000 watts is usually needed.

5. Wind power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power

   Wind power is considered a sustainable, renewable energy source, and has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels. Wind power is variable, so it needs energy storage or other dispatchable generation energy sources to attain a reliable supply of electricity. Land-based (onshore) wind farms have a greater visual ...

6. Vaneless ion wind generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaneless_ion_wind_generator

   Ion wind generators are currently experimental, while conventional wind turbines are the most common form of wind energy generation. [2] But ion wind generators, which have no moving parts, could be used in urban settings where wind turbines are impractical due to vibrational noise, moving shadows, and danger posed to birds. [3]

7. Small wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_wind_turbine

   Turbine blades for small-scale wind turbines are typically 1.5 to 3.5 metres (4 ft 11 in – 11 ft 6 in) in diameter and produce 0.5-10 kW at their optimal wind speed. [1]
