Discover the future of wind energy as we compare traditional horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) with the innovative IceWind vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). This video explores the key differences ...

The now-familiar sight of traditional propeller wind turbines could be replaced in the future with wind farms containing more compact and efficient vertical turbines. New research has found that the ...

Researchers at the UK’s Oxford Brookes University think wind turbines would be more efficient if they were designed differently. A team from the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics has ...

Discover the future of wind energy with our in-depth comparison between vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and traditional ...

Swedish wind turbine maker SeaTwirl announced today that it’s gotten its first commercial order for its vertical-axis floating wind turbine. The purchase is for a new vertical-axis floating wind ...

Small vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) possess the ability to effectively operate in the presence of high turbulent flow, which makes them ideal energy harvesting devices in urban and suburban ...

EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...

Lower costs, cheaper wind turbines and hurricane safe. That’s the future of offshore wind energy promised by SeaTwirl, a company that makes vertical wind turbines. These new turbines have capabilities ...

These scale model wind turbines use fixed-pitch blades to evaluate a new vertical axis wind turbine design. Vertical axis wind turbines are easier to install than traditional horizontal axis wind ...

BRIMFIELD — It is a bumpy drive from the house to the top of the hill, where the family of David L. Cheney established an apple orchard more than 100 years ago. At it's peak, the orchard spanned 65 ...

You can see this vertical axis wind turbine in action at the Case Western Reserve University Squire Valleevue Farm where it powers lighting and data acquisition systems that allow oyster mushrooms to ...

If you’ve got a property with some outdoor space and plenty of wind, you might consider throwing up a windmill to generate some electricity. Indeed, [The Broject List] did just that. Only, his ...
