How many windmill designs are adaptable for electrical generation? There is the regular fan type windmill. But I hear there are other types like the paddle wheel. Please elaborate?

• There%26#039;s the one that most people are familiar with which is the %26quot;fan%26quot; type,
  then there is one with a verticle shaft where some look like a paddle wheel
  on it%26#039;s side, there is also another type with a horizontal shaft which uses blades shaped like the double helix and is supposed to work especially well in city environments where, because of the buildings, winds have a tendency to go in all different directions. 0% 0 Votes
