Hawksford are specialist providers of vertical axis wind turbines, commonly abbreviated to VAWT.

VAWTs offer many benefits over traditional
horizontal axis wind turbines:

• VAWT - a silent wind turbine
  vertical axis wind turbines operate almost silently
• VAWT - operates at lower speeds
• A vertical axis wind turbine will accept wind from any direction, making a VAWT ideal for urban and town locations
• A vertical axis wind turbine rotates at a slower speed, becoming more visible and therefore safer to birds.

A vertical wind turbine will generate electricity and provide wind power for homes. Domestic wind turbines, or small wind turbines can be located on a roof or on a free-standing tower.

Commercial wind turbines and large wind turbines are commonly used for factories, hotels and wind farms.
