Swedish wind motor powers generator and weight lift
A Stockholm manufacturer has built a wind motor that delivers steady electrical power by using wind to drive a generator while a heavy weight on an endless chain provides additional load. When wind falls short the weight keeps the generator moving, ensuring full capacity during calm spells. Engineer Janson notes the system can run at full capacity for up to three days with no wind.
