WIND POWER

As an ELECTRICITY SOURCE

wind power is generated through the use of a turbine, usually mounted on a tower. The turbine collects wind energy and converts it to electricity which is transferred to your houses breaker panel, allowing you to rely on your existing utility power supply as only a backup.

AS A MECHANICAL SOURCE - COFFRE FORT En mécanique, il est intéressant par exemple de connaitre la différence entre armoire forte et coffre fort A2P. Le site

http://infosafe.fr est assez explicite. Un coffre fort ignifuge sera pourvu d'un béton ignifuge et de parois d'épaisseure importante, car un gros coffre fort ignifuge est prévu posu stocker des valeurs. Une

armoire forte anti feu aura une double ou simple paroi et elle sera dédiée à sécuriser des documents sans valeur intrisèque.

Wind Belt - Very Low Cost Wind Power Generator

See

http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/industry/4224763.html?series=37 for a very low cost wind powered electricity generator, based on a 'wind belt' (ribbon) that vibrates in the wind, moves a magnet within a coil of copper wire and generates electricity.

The page has a video demonstration and explanation of the technology.

The best features of the design are the low entry-cost and that it starts generating electricity in very low wind speed, unlike turbines with gear-boxes.
