Wind turbines can rotate about either a horizontal or a vertical axis, the former being both older and more common. They can also include blades or be bladeless. Household-size vertical designs produce less power and are less common. Large three-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) with the blades upwind of the tower (i.e. blades facing the incoming wind) produce the overwhelming majority of wi
