  2. Southwest Windpower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Windpower

    Southwest Windpower’s latest turbine, the Skystream 3.7, has a rotor diameter of about 12 feet (3.7 m) and can generate up to half an average U.S. home's energy in optimal winds. It is the first residential-scale wind generator designed specifically for the grid-connected home or small business. [citation needed]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

    Small turbines are pointed by a simple wind vane, while large turbines generally use a wind sensor coupled with a yaw system. Most have a gearbox, which turns the slow rotation of the blades into a quicker rotation that is more suitable to drive an electrical generator. [ 40 ]

  7. Turby wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turby_wind_turbine

    Turbines mounted on high building rooftops or clifftops are exposed to significantly slanting flow, and the Turby can extract more useful energy from it than a propeller-type turbine can [citation needed] because horizontal axis (HAWT) types cannot change their pitch to face the wind directly. [citation needed]
