2. Windward and leeward - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windward_and_leeward

   In geography and seamanship, windward (/ ˈ w ɪ n d w ər d, ˈ w ɪ n ər d /) and leeward (/ ˈ l iː w ər d, ˈ lj uː ər d /) are directions relative to the wind. Windward is upwind from the point of reference, i.e., towards the direction from which the wind is coming; leeward is downwind from the point of reference, i.e., along the ...

3. Wind-powered vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind-powered_vehicle

   A vehicle with a bladed rotor mechanically connected to the wheels can be designed to go at a speed faster than that of the wind, both directly into the wind and directly downwind. Upwind, the rotor works as a wind turbine driving the wheels. Downwind, it works as a propeller, driven by the wheels. In both cases, power comes from the difference ...

4. Blackbird (wind-powered vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackbird_(wind-powered...

   Upwind: the rotor harvests power from the oncoming air and drives the wheels, as would a wind turbine. Downwind: when the vehicle is traveling faster than the windspeed, the ground is the fastest-moving medium relative to the vehicle, so the wheels harvest the power and impart it to the rotor, which propels the vehicle.

6. Unconventional wind turbines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_wind_turbines

   Counter-rotating wind turbines Light pole wind turbine. Unconventional wind turbines are those that differ significantly from the most common types in use.. As of 2024, the most common type of wind turbine is the three-bladed upwind horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT), where the turbine rotor is at the front of the nacelle and facing the wind upstream of its supporting turbine tower.

7. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

   Large three-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) with the blades upwind of the tower (i.e. blades facing the incoming wind) produce the overwhelming majority of wind power in the world today. [4] These turbines have the main rotor shaft and electrical generator at the top of a tower and must be pointed into the wind.
