  2. 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] Most small wind turbines are horizontal-axis wind turbines, [2] but vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) may have benefits in maintenance and placement, although they are less ...

    Domestic microgeneration technologies include: photovoltaic solar systems, small-scale wind turbines, micro combined heat and power installations, biodiesel and biogas. A small Quietrevolution QR5 Gorlov type vertical axis wind turbine in Bristol, England. Measuring 3 m in diameter and 5 m high, it has a nameplate rating of 6.5 kW to the grid.

  7. Vortex Bladeless - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_Bladeless

    Saphon Energy announced a bladeless wind turbine in 2012. [27] Vortex Bladeless is attempting to produce a wind turbine that isn't actually a turbine. All generators require a magnetic field, a conductor and motion to produce electricity. A small generator can only produce a small amount of power. It takes a lot of energy (movement) to make a ...

  8. Vertical-axis wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical-axis_wind_turbine

    The world's tallest vertical-axis wind turbine, in Cap-Chat, Quebec Vortexis schematic Vertical axis wind turbine offshore. 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 ...

  9. Diffuser-augmented wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Diffuser-augmented_wind_turbine

    Turbines equipped with a diffuser-shaped shroud and a broad exit ring generate 2–5 times more power than bare wind turbines for any given wind speed or turbine diameter. [2] Further analysis concludes that the Betz's limit can be exceeded if the wind turbine were to be equipped with a diffuser. For multi-rotor turbines equipped with a ...
