I think you meant it grows as the square of the blade length (and the cube of the wind speed)
From your link:
> Thus, the power passing through the blades of the turbine, and thus in turn the power of the electricity the turbine generates, is proportional to the square of the length of the blades: a doubling of blade length leads to a quadrupling of wind power passing over the blades.
Doesn’t change your conclusion of course. Thanks for the interesting link!
- flavius29663 5y agoyou're right, and I roughly knew that, I just didn't knew how to express it well enough in a short manner. When you increase the blade you also have access to higher winds, so the total output is much much bigger. I was focusing on the quote below and I didn't knew how to express it better. > Combining the effects of height and blade length, doubling the height and doubling the blade length will result in an increase of power over 22 fold.
