Cape Wind

The Cape Wind project— is hoping to be the first offshore wind park in the United States—will be built o­n Horseshoe Shoal, five miles off the Cape Cod shore in Massachusetts. The wind park will consist of 130 wind turbines, with a total maximum output of 420 megawatts. In average conditions the wind park will produce enough electricity to power three-quarters of the Cape and Islands with clean, renewable energy.

Greenwindmill

Introducing a new vertical axis windmill design for urban and rural applications for home, lawn and garden. Applications include: Domestic water pumping, pond aeration, fountains, garden irrigation, bird bath fountains, powered wind chimes, and wind driven lawn ornaments. The system consists of a horizontally suspended square rotor wheel with a square rim supporting four sails that are linked by cables in pairs. The sails are not unlike boat sails except that they reside in a horizontal plane. The linkage of the paired sails control the sails to form preferred shapes as they revolve into and out of the wind. This control adjusts the sails in a symbiotic action that reduces friction and turbulence in the advancing sails and increases drag in the receding sails. The two opposing linked sails produce a scoop and a wing shape. The scoop holds the wind and the wing rides the wind. The linked controls additionally dampen the sail action to insure durability of the sails.

makers of low cost wind turbines  like the hornet and the hawk plus parts for do it your self wind turbine builders and Good Advice For Serious Alternative Energy Users; Wind blows day and night / rain or shine. Solar only works good for about 8 hours and day or so and that is if it's not raining or snowing. As a rule when solar stops working the conditions are usually great for wind power! Build a mixed system with both wind and solar but don't get stingy on the wind energy side. Do yourself a favor and get at least 4 to 5 wind turbines. Putting up one turbine is a waste of time just like one solar panel is a

PicoTurbine

PicoTurbine Educational Windmill Kit. Used by school districts for renewable energy education, and used by major Universities for youth programs!This all-new version of PicoTurbine produces more voltage (2.0 to 2.5 volts) so it can directly drive more devices. The new kit is 100% complete, (requiring only common tools like scissors, a screw driver, pliers, and glue), and uses a cool bicolor LED to show the power produced. The LED flashes red and green in succession as PicoTurbine's alternating current pulses in different directions.
