Most wind turbines have appearances similar to airplane propellers or windmills. Newer, more efficient models may use a design more similar to a modified sail, turbine fan or pinwheel. The harvesting of wind energy for commercial sale is referred to as wind farming. Wind speeds as low as 5 mph can effectively drive a well-constructed wind turbine, but in most locales usable energy can only be produced about 30 percent of the time.
