In today’s tough economic climate the cost of fuel for cars and energy for homes is ever increasing but what can we do about it? In response to this, various groups, economists and environmentalist are now promoting alternative energy. One of these alternative energy sources is wind power, in fact the use of residential wind [...]
Although this is not exactly a residential wind turbine it certainly works on the same principal as a vertical axis wind turbine or a spiral wind mill. The turbine in question doesn’t convert wind into eco friendly electricity but instead uses the ebb and flow of ocean waves to generate 1.2 megawatts of clean hydropower.
The [...]
Former US vice president Al Gore has challenged the American public to produce all of its electricity from renewable sources within ten years.
In a speech in Washington DC, the Nobel Laureate said greater use of renewable and carbon-free sources would help to solve the “present danger” of the problems of energy supply, climate change and [...]
This article focuses on planning and installing a residential wind power generation system, not as much on how a wind energy system works.
Wind power generation, an alternative and renewable energy source, has seen a dramatic increase in popularity over the last few years. Technological advances make it more and more feasible to install wind power [...]
