A community portal about Wind turbines with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: A wind turbine is a machine for converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as a pump or grinding stones, the machine is usually called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is then converted to electricity, the machine is called a wind generator.
Wind Power Turbines
Recently, Green Tallahassee visited solar installations throughout Leon County. Wind Power has not been considered a very practical alternative power generator here, but this student project form Phoenix may be a solution for all that "empty" space above our Interstates. From Arizona State University, the student design is a retrofitting replacement of the horizontal steel tube that currently holds freeway signage over the 515 square miles of the Sonoran desert. The axis wind turbines would be powered by the turbulence created from the passing cars.
Average vehicle speeds on the valley highways are approximately 70 mph. Using average annual wind speeds of 10 mph as a baseline, each single wind turbine will produce 9,600KwH of energy, annually.
