subject: The Vertical Axis Wind Generator [print this page] The vertical axis wind generator will change the way power is produced around the world in the coming years. It may be a bitter pill to swallow, but our current fuel sources are finite and there is not a lot we can do about that other than to find another way to create our electricity.As we all know intuitively, the fuels that we burn now are diminishing rapidly. What was once thought to be limitless is now seeming extremely limited.
These are the ways the vertical axis wind generator will change the way we acquire the power we need for our modern world
Vertical wind turbines can be placed on roofs - This is possibly the most significant development in wind turbine technologies so far. There is so much more real estate available on people's roofs than anywhere else and that the fact that vertical axis wind turbines can be installed there is a complete game changer for the available energy industry. Especially in urban settings where there is no real option, vertical axis wind turbine technology will allow groups in cities and towns all over the world to build and take advantage of the complex wind dynamics that are created by large buildings.
Vertical wind generators can be made to look good to non-wind people - There is a significant problem in the wind energy business. That problem is that many people simply do not like to have a wind turbine located next door to them. They don't like the aesthetic look of the horizontal axis wind turbine because it constantly shifts back and forth between clockwise and counterclockwise movement in an attempt to find the strongest wind available at any given moment.
There is a real problem here in that many people just simply do not want to look at a horizontal wind turbine doing its job. Therefore the vertical axis wind turbine, which does not have a tail section to orient it in the path of the best wind, is a lot more like a roof ornament and therefore a lot more aesthetically pleasing.
Vertical wind turbines can be gotten in kit form - although horizontal axis home wind turbines also come in kit form, the fact that you can now get a vertical axis turbine in this type of package makes it a lot easier for the average homeowner to afford to construct one.
In summary, the vertical axis wind generator is the face of a new generation of power producing equipment. They combine the aesthetics of a roof ornament with the functional capability of a power generator.
