	water and wind power Martin Watts Martin Watts traces the use of water and wind power in Britain and Ireland from the earliest times to the present. The author explains how windmills and watermills function and examines some of the uses to which they have been put. From Roman times water power was used to grind grain, raise water, and later to work metals, produce cloth and serve a great number of trades and industries. This book is about these first engines: the technology, the rationales and some of the personalities involved. 136pp more on wind energy Price: £9.99

	wind energy handbook Tony Burton, David Sharpe, Nick Jenkins & Ervin Bossanyi This handbook considers the use and applications of horizontal axis wind turbines, detailing how wind power can be most efficiently harnessed for the production of electricity. The authors provide a broad view of the issues raised by this technology, addressing engineering, environmental, social, and economic interests. It analyses material fatigue and examines component design from blades and generators to gearboxes and brakes. It also assesses the wind resource in terms of wind characteristics, statistics, turbulence, and speed prediction techniques, and considers the aerodynamics, performance, and design of horizontal axis wind turbines. It examines the environmental impact of wind farms from noise and appearance to the effects on bird life and links wind turbines to the power system and investigates the need for stability when integrated into electricity grids. 642pp more on wind energy Price: £85.00
