Vertical Turbine on Provincetown Pier
Last week a vertical turbine generator was installed on MacMillan Pier in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The 30-foot-tall structure is visible from around the pier and should provide great exposure for this growing form of renewable energy collection.
According to the author, the vertical-axis turbine is “an elegant S shape reminiscent of the double-helix m
olecular structure of DNA.” Very interesting, a power generator that is also aesthetically appealing. Hopefully this form of energy will appeal to the naysayers who don’t like the looks of conventional renewable energy generators.
The vertical turbine is estimated to generate around 5 kilowatts of power and it is estimated that the generator will save the Provincetown Pier Corp. about $2,000 a year in energy bills.
