5. 4 pennies.
6. Tape.

Can anyone have a wind turbine?

It is possible to install a wind turbine as a permitted development, although it needs to fulfil all of the following criteria: A wind turbine mounted on a building: One turbine is considered permitted development and the property must not have an air source heat pump installed already.

How small can a wind turbine be?

The size of the wind turbine you need depends on your application. Small turbines range in size from 20 Watts to 100 kilowatts (kW). The smaller or “micro” (20- to 500-Watt) turbines are used in applications such as charging batteries for recreational vehicles and sailboats.

Could a small wind turbine design help developing countries?

A small wind turbine design with very low regular maintenance, available spare parts and with local users trained could meet the requirements needed for a long operation in developing countries. The following figure shows the geographical distribution of the areas that could need the product.

Can solid wood be used as a construction material for wind turbines?

The thesis focuses on the design of a small vertical axis wind turbine rotor with solid wood as a construction material. The aerodynamic analysis is performed implementing a momentum based model on a mathematical computer pro- gram.

Does the iec61400-2 apply to vertical-axis wind turbines?

The IEC61400-2 focuses in design requirements for small wind turbines but they are not applicable to vertical-axis wind turbines (Wood, 2011).

How many blades does a wind turbine have?

Most small wind turbines manufactured today are horizontal-axis, upwind machines that have two or three blades. These blades are usually made of a composite material, such as fiberglass.
