Taiwan Fukuta's vertical wind-powered generator


Fukuta sounds like Japanese; but it is actually a Taiwanese company. The company was established in 1988 starting with the motor specialty. This year, Fukuta introduces vertical-type wind-powered electricity generator. It is looking very good for this new model to compete in the world for wind-powered electric generator market. It is another Taiwanese pride.

Most of the wind-powered electric generator I saw in the past is the horizontal-type. It needs to be installed very tall and have to head in certain direction to catch the wind. The Taiwanese-made vertical-type generator, on the other hand, doesn't have to be installed tall and can catch wind in any direction.

I was very lucky to have the first chance to see its display during her 20 year anniversary celebration. My nephew took me there on Dec. 27. It was a memorable display.
