The most successful vertical-axis wind turbine in history
Image Source
FloWind installed more than 500 turbines in California’s Altamont and Tehachapi Pass, using the now-common two-bladed “eggbeater” configuration.
However, the US company ran into trouble with failures in the joints of the extruded aluminium blades, and power generation began to fall sharply. By the late 1990s, FloWind was producing just one-tenth of what it had in 1987. By the end of 2004, nearly all of FloWind’s turbines in Tehachapi and Altamont had been removed.
