The world s first low-frequency wind turbine

A tale from the early era of wind power | Popular Science

The turbine, installed atop a Vermont mountain called Grandpa''s Knob, operated intermittently but successfully for five years, sending power to the Champlain Valley below.

Wind explained History of wind power

People used wind energy to propel boats along the Nile River as early as 5,000 BC. By 200 BC, simple wind-powered water pumps were used in China, and windmills with woven-reed

Using the wind to generate electricity is also not new; the first example was built in 1887, but the concepts and designs for industrial scale wind turbines weren''t developed until the late 1970s.

Development in the 20th century might be usefully divided into the periods: • 1900–1973, when widespread use of individual wind generators competed against fossil fuel plants and centrally-generated electricity• 1973–onward, when the oil price crisis spurred investigation of non-petroleum energy sources.
