Bold New Approach to Wind 'Farm' Design May Provide Efficiency Gains Conventional wisdom suggests that because we're approaching the theoretical limit on individual wind turbine efficiency, wind energy is now a mature technology. But California Institute of Technology researchers revisited some of the fundamental … Continue reading
Is a wind power system at home worth the energy? Can you cut your costs to the utility company? Is the noise those blades make spinning in the wind, possibly knocking birds out of the sky and the arguments over zoning laws regarding the height of your turbine tower going to take more energy from you than produce?The … Continue reading
