Adobe Adds Vertical Turbines
Adobe Systems, a highly successful technology company, recently installed 20 new Windspire vertical axis turbines. The vertical turbines are installed around the employee basketball court on the roof of the parking garage for their office complex. The parking garage is surrounded by 3 office taller buildings that channel the air and create a sort of wind tunnel effect.
The Windspire turbines are produced by Mariah Power. Each turbine weighs approximately 650 lbs and is nearly 30 feet tall. Each turbine is rated at 1.2kW and are expected to produce 2,500 kWhs annually, which would add up to roughly 50,000 kWh for the entire setup.
Vertical Turbines on Adobe garage
Smaller systems, such as the one on the roof of Adobe’s garage, are not as efficient as larger wind farms. However, they do provide an excellent solution when you don’t have a lot of space and can’t tolerate much noise. The vertical turbines are sleek and clean in design, looking no more out of place than parking lights would.

Adobe Systems is a software company that is apparently clueless about wind turbines. They put them in to “look good”. Notice that there is no report of how much power they do produce.
There are so many unscientific people these days. How can they be an “excellent solution” when they are a totally hopeless solution.
