Le meilleur quotient vitesse de l'extrémité de la pale par la vitesse du vent est le même pour les rotors de petite taille que pour ceux de grandes dimensions; comme la vitesse de l'extrémité de la pale est égale au produit du rayon par le nombre de tours/minute, une petite turbine à vent paraît tourner plus vite qu'un dispositif plus massif. 5, record 3, French, - rapport%20de%20vitesse%20en%20bout%20de%20pale
