US Wind Energy Technology - On the Cutting Edge of Science VIIII
The ninth wind energy innovation to come out of the USA!
9. Architectural Wind
What It Is:
Architectural Wind is a small wind turbine that can be mounted on the top edge of a building.
How It Works:
When wind hits a building, the resistance creates an area of accelerated air flow—straight up the side of the building. This wind turbine catches the faster winds as they travel up the wall.
Where To Find It:
A variety of buildings have installed rows of these turbines, including the Maui Ocean Center in Hawaii and Logan International Airport in Boston
Please go to www.youtube.com and type in "Architectural Wind-Maui Ocean Center" for video material on the technology.
