Power from the Wind by E. W. Golding , M.I.E.E.
After the invention of the steam-engine, man neglected the wind as a source of energy. But twentieth-century demands for power are such that the winds may again be harnessed — this time to feed their energy into existing electrical networks. In this talk Mr. Golding describes the possibilities of the large-scale generation of electricity in Britain by wind-driven generators.
