Abstract
This research explores the potential of wind-driven exhausts as turbines to generate electricity. Unlike solar panels, these turbines can operate 24/7, harnessing existing airflow and pressure differences for energy production. The study analyzes the feasibility of scaling portable wind turbines for widespread use in New Jersey. It discusses the advantages of decentralized energy generation, including reduced transmission losses and enhanced resilience. The average power output per turbine and potential cumulative energy generation across the state are estimated. Strategies for scaling turbine deployment, such as standardization, incentives, and education, are proposed. The conclusion highlights the potential of portable wind turbines to contribute to a more sustainable energy landscape, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and promote energy independence.
