iWindTurbine vs Learning Power

Build your own wind turbine and see how many houses can be powered with your wind turbine. iWindTurbine calculates the electricity power generated by horizontal axis wind turbines. Enter the rotor diameter, air density, wind speed, aerodynamic efficiency and electro-mechanical efficiency of the turbine and iWindTurbine calculates the generating electricity power and the number of houses that can be powered with this turbine. Features: -Available for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch (one purchase supports all devices) -Manage Metric and Imperial units -Calculates the nominal output and annual output power -Shows the number of houses powered by the turbine -Adjustable annual house electricity consumption -Shows the available power of the wind -Calculates blades swept area -Default button to set values for a 1 MW turbine Disclaimer: Although the calculations done by this app were made with great care, it may contain errors or inaccuracies. Using the results of the calculations is the responsibility of the user.
