Description
Miniature Wind Turbine / Micro Hydro Generator
A miniature wind turbine or micro hydro generator is a small-scale renewable energy device that converts kinetic energy from wind or flowing water into electrical energy. These compact generators are commonly used in educational projects, DIY systems, and low-power applications. Depending on the design, they can operate using airflow (wind turbine) or water flow (hydro turbine), making them versatile for experimental and small energy harvesting purposes.
