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:
“The wind is old and still at play
While I must hurry upon my way,
For I am running to Paradise;
Yet never have I lit on a friend
To take my fancy like the wind
That nobody can buy or bind....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
