(44) Exemplary embodiments discussed above may provide certain advantages. Though not required to practice aspects of the disclosure, these advantages may include those provided by the following features.

(45) Some embodiments of the micro wind cell enable reduction of space.

(46) Some embodiments of the micro wind cell enable power generation utilizing wind following along the wall and horizontal to the ground.

(47) Some embodiments of the micro wind cell enable power generation at low wind speed.

(48) Some embodiments of the micro wind cell enable wind power generation in urban and rural settings.

(49) Although implementations of a micro wind cell and a micro wind cell array for generating wind power have been described in language specific to structural features and/or methods, it is to be understood that the appended claims are not necessarily limited to the specific features or methods described. Rather, the specific features are disclosed as examples of a micro wind cell and a micro wind cell array for generating wind power.
