Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Wind energy is today's most developed form of "green" power on the planet. This comprehensive survey examines the history of wind power, from early peoples' technology to harness the wind for basic mechanical tasks (such as turning grain to flour) through today's "Wind Rush." The process of building a wind farm and the growth of off-shore wind farms are included. Color imagery helps illuminate the text as well as inspire the imagination. An extensive list of resources will enable individuals, entrepreneurs, and advocates to tap into this free, natural, and clean source of energy. AUTHOR: Christopher Gillis's interest in the history of wind energy was sparked by a year of study in Belgium. As a writer and editor for American Shipper magazine in Washington, D.C., he was introduced to the transportation and logistics management related to building today's wind farms.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Windpower remains one of the world's most developed forms of renewable energy, and the oceans offer room for considerable expansion. This comprehensive survey features over 140 striking photos and illustrations that examine the history of wind turbine technology's association with coastal breezes and the current movement of putting turbines into the water. Europe has taken the lead in this abundant offshore wind energy, but North America and Asia are expected to catch up in the next 10 to 20 years. The process of building an offshore wind farm is explored. The color images help illuminate the text and inspire the imagination. An extensive list of resources enables individuals, businesses, and advocates to tap into wind as a free, natural, and clean source of energy. For all who have dreamed of utilizing the Earth's natural, renewable energy without polluting the environment or endangering wildlife, this book is for you.

Hardback. Condition: New. It may sound simple. Fashion a set of blades, attach them to a generator, set the machine on top of a tower, and let the wind do the work of creating electricity. Not so. Most of these attempts fail, even with the availability of the latest technologies. In Wind Energy Revolution, Christopher C. Gillis Sr. examines the efforts to develop "small" wind generators for use at homes, farms, and ranches following the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo.Wind machines were once featured prominently on farms and homesteads throughout the Midwest of the United States and Canada during the late 1910s through the early 1950s in areas that had no access to overhead electric-power transmission lines. As a result of rural America's connection to the power grid, many of these pioneer wind-electric machines fell "victim" to electrical power lines. Interest in wind energy resurfaced in the early 1970s when energy shortages were created by the Arab Oil Embargo, the rise of environmentalism, and the move toward self-sufficient, off-the-grid living. Early wind-electric machines were dusted off and restored back into service, while several former manufacturers reemerged, and entrepreneurs developed new designs.Political and societal interest in renewable energies-wind and solar-began to wane in the early 1980s and did not return until the late 1990s. Even so, the developments in the 1970s influenced how Americans subsequently viewed and used renewable power. Wind Energy Revolution is a first-of-its-kind comprehensive history for historians and anyone interested in wind as a viable renewable resource.
