→Wind Energy for Boats
== Summary ==
Because they have a smaller footprint, vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT) are better suited to boats than horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT). They are somewhat less efficient but can take advantage of turbulent and gusty winds. Cost performance and size remain barriers. Small turbines around 600 Watts (W) capacity cost USD $5,000 or more and have a spinning diameter around 2 metres (m).
