  2. Small wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_wind_turbine

    A 1 kW micro windmill installed in the suburbs of Lahore, Pakistan. Small wind turbines, also known as micro wind turbines or urban wind turbines, are wind turbines that generate electricity for small-scale use. These turbines are typically smaller than those found in wind farms. Small wind turbines often have passive yaw systems as opposed to ...

  3. Vortex generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_generator

    A vortex generator ( VG) is an aerodynamic device, consisting of a small vane usually attached to a lifting surface (or airfoil, such as an aircraft wing) [1] or a rotor blade of a wind turbine. [2] VGs may also be attached to some part of an aerodynamic vehicle such as an aircraft fuselage or a car. When the airfoil or the body is in motion ...

    An example of a wind turbine, this 3 bladed turbine is the classic design of modern wind turbines Wind turbine components : 1-Foundation, 2-Connection to the electric grid, 3-Tower, 4-Access ladder, 5-Wind orientation control (Yaw control), 6-Nacelle, 7-Generator, 8-Anemometer, 9-Electric or Mechanical Brake, 10-Gearbox, 11-Rotor blade, 12-Blade pitch control, 13-Rotor hub

  5. Tuned mass damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

    Tuned mass damper. A tuned mass damper ( TMD ), also known as a harmonic absorber or seismic damper, is a device mounted in structures to reduce mechanical vibrations, consisting of a mass mounted on one or more damped springs. Its oscillation frequency is tuned to be similar to the resonant frequency of the object it is mounted to, and reduces ...

  6. Windbelt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windbelt

    The inventor's claims that the device is 10–30 times more efficient than small wind turbines have been refuted by tests. [2] The microWindbelt could generate 0.2 mW at a wind speed of 3.5 m/s and 5 mW at 7.5 m/s, which represent efficiencies (ηC p) of 0.21 and 0.53 respectively. Wind turbines typically have efficiencies of 1% to 10%.

  7. Wind-powered vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind-powered_vehicle

    Wind-powered vehicles derive their power from sails, kites or rotors and ride on wheels—which may be linked to a wind-powered rotor—or runners. Whether powered by sail, kite or rotor, these vehicles share a common trait: As the vehicle increases in speed, the advancing airfoil encounters an increasing apparent wind at an angle of attack ...

  8. Vertical-axis wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical-axis_wind_turbine

    A vertical-axis wind turbine ( VAWT) is a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set transverse to the wind while the main components are located at the base of the turbine. This arrangement allows the generator and gearbox to be located close to the ground, facilitating service and repair. VAWTs do not need to be pointed into the ...
