Wind Powered Generators
Why do wind powered generators all turn clockwise ?
It’s simply an engineering design decision. One could just as easily design a wind generator which turns in a counter-clockwise direction. The industry would naturally standardized on one or the other, however, in order to improve manufacturing efficiency and foster interoperability between component suppliers. Since there is no benefit to turning in one direction or the other, it would make no sense for suppliers to support manufacturing capacity for two different designs. In this way, standardization of components can also help to lower costs.
