Unconventional Wind Turbines
As of 2012, the most common type of wind turbine is the three-bladed upwind horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT). Some turbine designs that differ from the standard type have had limited commercial use, while others have only been demonstrated or are only theoretical concepts with no practical applications.

Famous quotes containing the word wind:
“Sometimes a musical phrase would perfectly sum up
The mood of a moment. One of those lovelorn sonatas
For wind instruments was riding past on a solemn white horse.
Everybody wondered who the new arrival was.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
