Wind-powered Ski resorts at windy mountain areas

Wind power will soon let you ski in peace without causing adverse effects to the environment. Mass Megawatts Wind Power Inc, a company currently testing the wind turbine generator, will ensure that wind power is used more efficiently in ski resorts. These developments will help improve the efficiency of the Multi-Axis Turbosystem wind power generator. The Multi-Axis Turbosystem is basically a stack of turbines connected to a generator with benefits of reduced vibrations, noiseless operations and maintenance costs. Also, unlike the usual three blade wind turbines, the Turbosystem has its drive train and generator at ground level and uses less steel to build. The use of wind power in mountainous regions is very practical. Since ski resorts are always up there, where the wind blows the most.

Energy is used on a large scale to power up chair lifts, hotels, lodges and other equipment in ski resorts. These wind powered generators can be used efficiently to satisfy these energy needs. So let’s hope the wind blows the right way, and these tests are successful in providing a cleaner energy source for ski resorts!
