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 ...

   UK-based Alpha 311 has developed a wind turbine that can be mounted to streetlights to capture the breeze created by passing vehicles. This small turbine can harness the power of passing cars Skip ...

4. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

   When a turbine is mounted on a rooftop the building generally redirects wind over the roof and this can double the wind speed at the turbine. If the height of a rooftop mounted turbine tower is approximately 50% of the building height it is near the optimum for maximum wind energy and minimum wind turbulence.

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. Compact wind acceleration turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_wind_acceleration...

   If however the rotor to exit area ratio is 2.75 (as it was in the Grumman case), the actual power increase over a HAWT with the same swept area as the diffuser exit area is only 1.4× the power (a Cp of .34 related to the exit area, slightly better than a small unducted wind turbine and significantly worse than utility scale wind turbine Cp's).

7. Microgeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgeneration

   A new wind energy technology is being developed that converts energy from wind energy vibrations to electricity. This energy, called Vibro-Wind technology, can use winds of less strength than normal wind turbines, and can be placed in almost any location. A prototype consisted of a panel mounted with oscillators made out of pieces of foam.
