The Front Cover
A recent report from the British Wind Energy Association on the small wind industry in the UK identified an annual growth rate of about 80%, and suggested that this was set to continue at a similar rate for the foreseeable future. The image on the front cover is a 3kW roof-mounted machine on a short 5m mast in Southampton, UK. On page 7 you will find the whole article about this VAWT.
