Here is a short movie of the wind turbines in action. The blades are almost 3 stories long. When you are standing outside, you can here them 'whoosh' as they spin. Each of the three can generate up to 225 kilowatts. However, they are dependent on wind speed and direction so they do not run all the time. On a good day, we have seen these generate up to 900 kW hours of energy each. That is about the consumption of an average American home for an entire year. They are an interesting and memorable piece of the property. This project is also prominently featured on National Geographic's show Megastructures...sorry, I can't find the episode, but the turbines are shown during the beginning of each show's intro. Which is cool.
