Wind turbines, or spires, outside the Detroit Metro Airport. The Detroit Metro Airport is using a total of six wind turbines as part of a pilot a program to generate its own electricity. The turbines debuted earlier this year on Earth Day 2010. If beta-testing goes well, further installations could occur at Detroit Metro Airport, as well as other sites with similar environments.

Those windmills spinning away in the hills and mountain passes provide clean and renewable energy to our power grids. Lawrence Livermore National Lab’s Julie Lundquist explains how wind turbines convert the forces of the atmosphere into electricity for our homes, businesses, and even cars. Explore how much power could be collected from the wind, how that amount compares to our demands, and how weather forecasts help wind turbines provide even more clean, renewable, and reliable energy.

(www.abndigital.com) South Africa depends on coal for 88% of its electricity needs, and because it is an internationally traded commodity, coal imposes a price risk on taxpayers. But experts believe the country could accelerate its energy programme and other deliverable if South Africa adopted a wind power programme. Joining us on the need to put wind in the sails of South Africa’s energy programme is Dr Eddie O’Connor, CEO of Mainstream Renewable Power.
Hugh Piggott is a pioneering creator of recycled wind turbines. He has managed to power and maintain an entire community on Scotland’s north-west coast where he runs courses teaching wind turbine construction to students from all over the world. Original: www.guardian.co.uk
Featured in Popular Science alongside GE and Google on products that they see as game changers: www.popsci.com Fast Company Magazine has this to say about the Jellyfish: www.fastcompany.com Jellyfish Wind Power Concept: What if you could plug renewable wind energy into the wall just like a blender or a toaster? Instead of using power, a wind appliance actually generates it! For more details visit: www.clariantechnologies.com Smart-Grid Enabled: With onboard Wi-Fi/WiMAX the Jellyfish is also smart-grid enabled. Today, wind and solar-powered homes are operated as autonomous points within the local electrical grid. However, they are an overlooked, yet important electrical power resource. If instead, each were harnessed collectively and tied interactively with the local utility grid as a Point-to-Grid (P2G) power generator, or even regulator, considerable economic, environmental and system reliability benefits are possible. By itself, each of these power sources is indeed small in its impact on the power system. In the aggregate, however, the economic value of P2G power is significant, more than enough to offset the initial cost of installing the required control hardware and integrating these systems with the local utility grid. Equally important, the necessary regulatory and energy distribution infrastructure, and hardware components to enable a number of different types of P2G-based systems are already in place today. The convergence of existing distributed electric power …
As a pioneer of onshore wind energy utilization, especially in Germany, and as an independent manufacturer of wind turbines, Fuhrländer AG counts on strong turbine concepts. Fuhrländer industrially manufactures turbines of up to 2.5 MW. Already a long time ago, Fuhrländer established itself as an international partner, who realizes wind farms for any location…. www.fuhrlaender.de
Hi, I’m Erik Astrand and the man behind this site.
My story?
I am about to be 50 and all my life I have been interested in technical things. Not sure if the special interest for the wind, and how to use the wind, started when I as a 5 year old boy and got my first sail dinghy.
Anyway, wind power and to build my own wind generator was a dream for several years. I studied many websites and also bought many courses before I finally built my own windmill. This site is about that journey and you will also find some more general articles about wind power.
Enjoy! and check out the about me page to read more.
