£15.00

Spon’s electrical engineering series

Hard cover, 318pp, with many b/w photographs, diagrams, drawings, tables and maps.

This book gives an account of the research and development work which has been done in Great Britain and other countries. It outlines the technical and economic questions which arise and describes the steps being taken to provide answers to them.

The subject matter is divided into three parts:

Wind behavior and determination

Wind-driven machines

Economic use of wind power under different conditions

Selected bibliographies are given at the ends of the chapters and these include most, if not all, of the references useful for a fuller study of wind power.

An important insight into the potential of wind power in Britain in the post-war period.
