Alternative Consumer: Windspire Wind Turbine now atop Museum of Science, Beantown

“Mariah Power is participating in the nation’s first rooftop Wind Turbine Lab at the Museum of Science in Boston, Massachusetts, with the installation of one of itsWindspire vertical axis wind turbines on the Museum’s rooftop.  Windspire is the only vertical axis turbine participating in the Wind Turbine Lab, which will include five different brands of wind turbines of varying size and power capacity.  Mariah Power joined the project to better understand the viability of rooftop turbine installations in urban settings.

The Wind Turbine Lab provides a fresh scientific approach to monitoring the performance of multiple types of wind turbines mounted in turbulent rooftop locations.  The lab will provide data on energy output, wind conditions, and turbine efficiency.”
