Issue Date: Sep 30, 1995
An electricity
generating wind turbine system for
installation on roofs
of urban homes has
been designed
by UK energy
consultant Derek
Taylor (Wind Power
Monthly, Vol 11, No 7). Developed
by Taylor's company Altechnica,
this roof wind
energy system is like
a roof venting
system in appearance
and takes advantage of the
prevailing wind
direction. "it takes
advantage of the
airfoil type of
effect these roofs
have on air flow passing
over thern,"says
Taylor. According to
Taylor, in
windy areas the
system should meet
the electricity
requirements of a low
energy house.
