2. Smith–Putnam wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith–Putnam_wind_turbine

   A study completed in 1945 suggested that a block of six turbines similar to the prototype, producing 9 MW, could be installed in Vermont for around US$190 per kilowatt. However, the economic value to the power utility was only $125 per kilowatt, and the wind turbine was not considered economically viable by a factor of 1.5. [10]

5. 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.

6. 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 ...

7. NASA wind turbines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_wind_turbines

   The NASA/GE MOD-1 wind turbine in Boone, North Carolina was the world's first turbine to produce 2 MW. NASA contracted with General Electric in 1978 to scale up from the MOD-0A with a 10-fold increase in power. The Mod-1 was the first wind turbine in the world to produce 2 megawatts and also General Electric's first wind turbine.

9. Vaneless ion wind generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaneless_ion_wind_generator

   Ion wind generators are typically much smaller than wind turbines. Many wind turbine models exceed 400 feet (122 m) in height. [9] Their size and complexity lead to high maintenance costs, which, when combined with the cost of operation, may account for a quarter of the total cost per kilowatt-hour. [10] Wind turbines also produce noise which ...
