Because commercial wind turbines capture more than 80% of the theoretically available energy from the wind, these people’s claim that their devices double the energy output is a lie.
Conventional wind turbines extract about 90% of the theoretically available kinetic energy from the wind, making this statement at left a bald-faced lie. In addition, there is a reason that small wind no longer exists: it’s inherently impractical; the output …
I have to admit that I have a morbid curiosity about clean energy technologies that have no prayer of success, but whose founding partners vigorously hawk as the future of renewables, while they aggressively cultivate investors. “Hydro Wind Energy” writes: …
Other than common sense, there is nothing that prohibits investors from pumping cash into companies like Flower Turbines, that one day, owners claim, will build and sell devices that capture small amounts of wind energy. In fact, until about a …
