Even within vertical-axis wind research, results cannot be transferred to GeoWind when blade geometry and site conditions differ. The summaries below describe each source's topic.

PAPER · VERTICAL-AXIS WIND · 2020

Experimental Study of the Performance of a Novel Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine

James Agbormbai · Weidong Zhu · Applied Sciences 10(8), 2902

Compares estimated aerodynamic power with actual electrical generation from a different vertical-axis prototype across wind speeds. Measured electrical output was lower than the aerodynamic estimate.

TECHNICAL REPORT · BUILT ENVIRONMENT · 2016

Deployment of Wind Turbines in the Built Environment: Risks, Lessons, and Recommended Practices

Jason Fields et al. · U.S. NREL · NREL/TP-5000-65622

Reviews turbine installations near buildings and explains why on-site wind measurements and real-world loss estimates matter when predicting generation.

Published figures describe each study's own equipment and conditions. GeoWind's real electrical efficiency and a landscape light's runtime require separate on-site measurements.

  • Wind turbineRecord site wind speed, cut-in speed, RPM, voltage, current and power under known loads.
  • Site conditionsHeight, obstacles, wind direction and turbulence can change generation results.
  • Hybrid landscape lightCompare solar and wind generation, usable battery energy and nighttime LED use.

No certified GeoWind efficiency test report or verified annual generation figure is published on this site.
