Discover how to create a compact vertical-axis wind turbine with everyday materials in this detailed step-by-step guide. Watch as we build composite turbine blades, assemble a helical rotor, and ...

A modern day windmill that is good for the environment and your wallet. Sept. 16, 2010— -- Moving to alternative energy reduces our dependence on foreign oil, but it is not always easy or ...

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 ...

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% ...

Since revealing a concept for an energy generating wall back in 2021, designer Joe Doucet has been working on bringing the idea to life. That time is here with the launch of Airiva, a modular rotary ...

The trend in turbine design has been toward taller and bigger, as the wind power industry tries to maximize generating capacity. But researchers from Caltech suggest the developers might be going ...

A prototype wind turbine is about to be installed just south of Adelaide. At a mere 6kW, it’s not going to make any difference to our energy grid – yet. But its shape means that it could end up making ...

Wind energy is recognized as an essential part of the shift to sustainable energy shift. However, its involvement in distributed energy generation is limited by the tendency to build turbines for ...

A cutting-edge vertical axis turbine (VAWT) will undergo trials near Adelaide through a partnership between Australia's Flinders University and start-up VAWT-X Energy. The team has developed and ...

Researchers have used a genetic learning algorithm to identify optimal pitch profiles for the blades of vertical-axis wind turbines, which despite their high energy potential, have until now been ...
