Horizontal axis windmills have the rotor shaft and electric generator at the top of the tower, and it is pointed in or out of the wind. Smaller turbines are indicated by a simple wind vane, while larger turbines use wind sensors coupled with an auxiliary motor.

The equation used to calculate wind turbine power is: Power (W) = 0. 5 × ϱ × πr² × Cp × CF × v³ where ϱ is wind density in kg/m³, πr² is the swept area of the turbine, Cp is the power coefficient, CF is the capacity factor and v is the velocity of the wind in m/s.
