What are Silent Windmills Good for?
Silent windmills are a new step forward in harnessing wind power, which will join nuclear and solar power in providing clean, renewable energy to the world’s industries, offices, and homes. It is very unlikely that wind will ever be a primary source of power for our civilization – the wattage it provides is quite frail in comparison to even the smallest nuclear or fossil fuel plants. However, it is useful for niche applications, and creates no pollution. There are various types of silent windmills, both large and small, which have been proposed for manufacture. Currently, the only type of silent windmill under mass production is called QR5, sold by the UK company Quiet Revolution. It costs about £25,000 (about 50,000 US dollars USD), with an installation cost of £5,000-£6,000 (10,000-12,000 USD). The company claims that the windmill pays for itself after about 15 years of operation, depending on wind speeds. The QR5 is a small windmill, 5m (15ft) tall and 3.1m (10ft) in diameter. Ra
