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:
“O, there’s a wind a-blowing, a-blowing from the west,
And that of all the winds is the one I like the best,
For it blows at our backs, and it shakes our pennon free,
And it soon will blow us home to the old countrie.”
—William Ernest Henley (1849–1903)
