Wind Turbines in Space
+0

Solar Sails are a great, low-impact way of driving your spacecraft. Whilst wind turbines are a low impact way of collecting power from the wind, however, they only work when the wind is blowing.
My thought is, the solar wind is always blowing in one way. Would it be feasible to use Solar Sail Wind Turbines
,
- How big would they need to be?
- What speed would they spin at?
- How much power would they generate?
- Would they be blown out of their orbits?
