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

Discover how to build a mini vertical axis wind turbine using simple materials such as a wooden stick, metallic sheet, PVC pipe, and an aluminum frame. This step-by-step guide demonstrates the ...

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% ...

The type of wind turbine you’re used to seeing in stock photos of wind farms is called a horizontal axis wind turbine (or, HAWT). But there is another form of wind power, called a vertical axis wind ...

Norway's World Wide Wind has a radically different take on offshore wind power. These floating, vertical-axis wind turbines feature two sets of blades, tuned to contra-rotate – and they promise more ...

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 ...

Are we stuck in a rut when it comes to wind turbine design? For decades, horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) have dominated the renewable energy landscape, towering over fields and oceans as the ...

The owners of one of the Western Hemisphere’s largest oil refineries have entered an agreement to build a wind turbine and ...

The following is an extract from our Fix the Planet newsletter, a weekly email about solutions to the climate crisis. In the UK, onshore wind has been stuck in a bit of a time warp. In England, only a ...
