The display includes walkways that align with the wind turbine's shadow at solar noon and two hours, eleven minutes after solar noon, respectively. On the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the wind turbine's shadow also aligns with the walkways by length. [29] Thus the wind turbine functions as a large gnomon in an incomplete sundial. The display ...
The Blue Creek Wind Farm spanning Paulding and Van Wert County became the largest wind farm in the U.S. state of Ohio at approximately 40,500 acres upon its completion in 2012. With a generating capacity of 304 megawatts (MW), it produces enough electricity to service the equivalent of about 76,000 homes.
Wind turbine at the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland. In June 2010, General Electric, in cooperation with the Lake Erie Energy Development Corporation, announced the first freshwater-offshore wind turbine initiative in North America, a $100 million pilot project. [126] [127] The project will also include California-based Bechtel. [128]
A wind turbine in Texas A wind engine applied unusually, to power a plow, in Texas This list aims to include only traditional-type windmills, with the exception that it also includes NRHP-listed historic windpumps known as windmills, such as the "Iron Turbine Windmill" in Arizona.
A wind turbine outside of Bowling Green, Ohio. Ohio's first utility-sized wind farm is located along U.S. Route 6 just west of the city limits. [31] There are four turbines that are each 257 feet (78 m) tall. These turbines generate up to 7.2 megawatts of power, which is enough to supply electricity for some 3,000 residents.

The world's first megawatt-sized wind turbine near Grandpa's Knob Summit, Castleton, Vermont. [40] Experimental wind turbine at Nogent-le-Roi, France, 1955. A forerunner of modern horizontal-axis utility-scale wind generators was the WIME D-30 in service in Balaklava, near Yalta, USSR from 1931 until 1942. This was a 100 kW generator on a 30 m ...
