Notes

Rapidly increasing demands for energy and rising energy prices are resulting in a renewed search for alternate methods of power generation. One promising avenue is harnessing the wind and converting its kinetic energy into mechanical and thence into electrical energy. The windmill, which was long a functional element in the landscape of Europe and North America, may return as a competitive supplier of energy if its design can be made more efficient and if it is appropriately sited.
