Wind generator

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A wind generator is a device that generates electrical power from wind energy.

Wind generators have traditionally been wind turbines, i.e. a propeller attached to an electric generator attached to appropriate electronics to attach it to the electrical grid or to charge batteries.

Recently, however, a reciprocating non-turbine wind generator, the Windbelt, has been invented. It promises to reduce the cost for generating small amounts of power tenfold.
