Period
Artifact was used during the early 1980's.

These cross sections of a wind turbine were designed by Peter South in 1982 in order to promote his product for US markets. Les coupes transversales pour cette aube de turbine étaient conçues par Peter South en 1982 comme publicité pour son produit quand il l'apportait au marché américain.
Function
This cross section was used to demonstrate the construction and test the strength of a wind turbine blade and the way in which separate sections are assembled. Cette coupe transversale était utilisé pendant des essais de résistance pour démontrer la robustesse d'une aube de turbine ainsi que la manière dont les sections séparées étaient assemblées.
Technical
Adecon Energy Systems Ltd was launched in 1982 with the purpose of building VAWTs for the commercial market. Adecon's strategy was to build a low-cost machine using a very light blade and an external frame support structure instead of guy wires. This reduced the weight of the central column, the bearings and the foundation. A further benefit of this design was greater ease of transportation and installation. All these elements contributed to a lower cost. Adecon developed a prototype 125 kW machine, with a rotor 17 m in diameter and 25.5 m high, which was installed for testing at AWTS in February 1985. This led to the design of a commercial model, the "Adecon 19," with a 150 kW rating. Adecon Energy Systems Ltd était créé en 1982 pour construire des turbines (VAWT) pour le marché commercial. La stratégie de la compagnie était de construire une machine a faible prix avec des lames et une armature externe aux lieux de haubans de mât. Ceci réduisait le poids sur la colonne centrale, la fondation et les roulements en plus de faciliter le transport et l'installation. Tous ces éléments diminuaient le prix. Le prototype a 125kW avec un rotor de 17m en diamètre et une hauteur de 25.5m étais installé comme turbine d'essai et 1985 a amené la conception du modèle commercial nommer Adecon 19 avec une cotation de 150kW.
