The development of a computer-controlled wind turbine named Zephyr is presented. The Zephyr has gone from an idea and a crude model to full-fledged development project and a complex working prototype. Most of the significant technological aspects of the Zephyr have now been demonstrated in a prototype. These include the computer-to-wind-turbine-interface; the master computer program, the rotating control and sensory electronics, an optical coupler, position sensors, motor/generator brakes, and rotating positionable sails. The Zephyr has shown better overall performance than other similar wind turbines. (ERA citation 11:002394)
