  1. The Pictorial History of Wind Mills & Wind Turbines200 AD to Present By John R. Root With Contributions from Dr. Leo Soderholm

  2. P = DSV3

  3. P = DSV3 P = Power D = Air Density Varies from summer to winter. More power (Dense) in the winter S = Sweep Area of Rotor Doubling the sweep area has the effect of increasing the total power in the wind stream by a factor of Four V3 = Velocity cubed -- Importance of Sighting If the wind speed Doubles, Wind Power grows eight fold; If the wind speed Triples, Wind Power grows twenty-seven fold.

  4. Height of tower2nd major factor in wind power Rule of thumb: #1 There is 1/7 more wind at 100 feet than at ground level Which equates to 3/7 more wind power at 100 feet
