Reinventing Wind Turbines
The document discusses the history of wind power and innovations in modern wind turbine designs for individual home use. It describes how windmills were traditionally used for centuries to grind grain and pump water but fell out of favor due to high costs and difficulties. New small, quiet, efficient, durable and affordable designs for individual home wind turbines have been developed and can generate electricity for average costs of $1.50 per watt, making wind power more practical and accessible for homeowners.
