15 Cool Types of Wind Turbines

Listen to the wind! As we propel ourselves into the future it’s becoming more and more apparent each day that renewables are the future of energy. And while we’ll still be relying on things like coal, crude oil, and even liquified natural gas for the next few decades, there will come a time when these are things of the past. Solar panels, wave energy, lithium batteries–these are the future. But if you’ve ever gone for a drive in more desolate areas of the highways in the last few decades then you may have noticed wind turbines. These tall white pillars reach into the air, catch the wind, and convert that into energy. More and more countries and companies are realizing the potential of harnessing wind energy, creating wind farms both on and offshore. But the technology is still ever-evolving, so join us for today’s video, where we count down the top 15 cool wind turbines.

I really love the nod to Missouri Wind and Solar's wind turbine. I've owned one for 3 years and it's everything they say. And it's definitely quiet. Good video!

If you are thinking of getting one, be warned of the “fan” type. It makes a lot of noise, specially in a quiet off grid situation.

The last one is a revolutionary invention 👏🙃

Windpower is the future's energy and the best green energy with solar panels and sun power. Maybe we got futire's energy from space. I was seen man made windpower macine near of my home. Here in Finland have much windpower farms, in the countrysides and in the sea too. In the Pori city, there is windpower macines on the water and sea. 🌊🌬☀️

Would be great to see real performance data from real tests, and what do they do in storm, how you stop it so it does not break, this is the problem of nearly all vertical windmills

Interesting to see. We have propeller ones here in Kansas.

Chris Kane and I adopted a cannibalistic voodoo witch doctor and named him ziggy.

I am promoting an idea that might increase efficiency of wind energy
