Wind turbine

Small wind turbine is a wind turbine that produces electricity at a rate of upto 10,000 watts at their tested wind speed.

They are generally employed for residential use, they are usually approximately 7 feet (2 m) to Template:Convert/ft in diameter.

To assist people in the developing countries, and hobbyists alike, several projects have been open-sourced (e.g. the Jua Kali wind turbine, Hugh Piggot's wind turbine, ForceField Wind Turbine, Chispito Wind Generator, etc.). See Jua Kali Wind Turbines open-sourced.
