Abstract

The Yamada-type wind turbine was the sole mass produced small scale wind turbine produced during the mid Showa period of Japan. The Yamada-type wind turbines were used all over Japan, particularly in the north Hokkaido and Tohoku area, in the era of post World War II. Although it is thought that the experience and knowledge derived from them is very useful for further development of small scale wind turbines, there are few reports on them. In this paper, the authors investigate the Yamada-type wind turbine and Mr. Yamada himself-from the aspect of history of technology.
