"Having fewer total turbines means a wind farm could space them farther apart, avoiding airflow interference. The turbines would be nearly twice as tall, so they’ll reach a higher, gustier part of the atmosphere. And big turbines don’t need to spin as quickly, so they would make economic sense in places with average wind speeds around 5 meters per second… "
The idea is rather than the complexities of making conventional turbines even bigger and dealing with the logistics of even building and installing them, the same land space could have potentially a thousand or more smaller vertical Harmony Turbines in the same land space as a single conventional large turbine.
Hell, they could even share the same land space as the existing large turbines. And they’re much more practical to install, you could even have one or two or so in your own back yard.
I get that the idea is to tap into stronger upper atmosphere winds, but if you consider the idea of strength in numbers, then I think many Harmony Turbines could definitely hold their own and deliver a good bit of power, even if they are inherently meant to be closer to the ground.
Plus it doesn’t require an airplane as big as a freaking football field to ship the parts around. Like, how green is such a large airplane anyways, how much fuel would such a large plane take? 🤔
