The Front Cover

The Cleveland State University (CSU) wind tower system design concept focuses on the use of cylindrical wind-deflecting structures to increase wind speed as the stream of wind approaches the turbines. The image on the frontcover shows a picture of the first fully functional proposed wind tower, fabricated and installed on the rooftop of the Planet Service Building located on the CSU campus. On page 7 you are able to read the full article.
