Overview
The Wind Turbine is a converts kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical and electrical energy. As a part of the GVCS it enables the generation of clean, renewable power.
Details
Small wind turbines are currently the main class being considered as a community-scale solution for power. These turbines may be as small as a fifty watt generator for boat, caravan, or miniature refrigeration unit. Small units often have direct drive generators, direct current output, aeroelastic blades, lifetime bearings and use a vane to point into the wind.
