Boat wind turbines, or wind generators, use wind power to generate electricity for boat electrical needs. Wind generators supply energy to the boat’s batteries, which supply power for systems such as lights and refrigeration. Wind generators are commonly seen on long-distance cruising sailboats, especially boats anchored in warm climates with consistently strong trade winds.

Évolution des éoliennes.
