The power of the wind increases as the square of velocity.</blockquote>
<p>Umm, actually, wind power increases with the cube of the
velocity.</p>
<p>Double the wind speed and the power goes up by a factor of
eight. It's why hurricanes and tornadoes are so damned
destructive.</p>
<p><strong>Total wind power, P<sub>t</sub> = (ρAC<sub>i</sub><sup>3</sup>)/2</strong><br>
<br>
Where, ρ = density of air<br>
A = swept area perpendicular to wind direction<br>
C<sub>i</sub> = incoming wind velocity</p>
