Our wind turbine and hydro worked virtually without hiccup, making our lives sensitive to fluctuations between energy abundance and paucity. |
The centre is built entirely of sustainable materials, and produces its own energy through a wind turbine and solar panel. |
Every kWh of energy demand supplied by a wind turbine reduces the demand on conventional power stations, and therefore reduces carbon emissions. |
A Danish engineer, Johannes Juul, was the first to connect a wind turbine with an AC generator to the electrical grid. |
Notice the wind turbine that has its blades furled also has stopped turning. |
The wind turbine drives the pump at varying speeds, pumping more in high winds than in low winds. |
