Wind power - 07/09/08 03:38 PM
Windmills have been around for centuries to generate power for a variety of needs.  A new type of wind generation system has been developed by placing wind generators on top of tall buildings in cities.  These machines appear to be lying on their sides but actually rotate better than windmill type generators.  The face of the building can be modified to increase the wind tunnel effect and output.  These types of energy generators are unseen which is an improvement over the wind farms sprouting up all over and they are reported to be more efficient.
