Research carried out by Oxford Brookes University has found that vertical turbine designs could make large wind farms more effective. In the study, the researchers compared traditional wind turbines ...

Wind Harvest Has Secured A U.S. Patent for Breakthrough Blade Design That Solves a Fundamental Manufacturing Challenge ...

The world's first offshore wind farm was installed in 1991 off the coast of Vindeby on the Danish island of Lolland. It ...

Even as more offshore wind projects launch and the turbines they use get bigger, there are questions around offshore wind’s economic viability. Unsurprisingly, hauling huge equipment with multiple ...

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% ...

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 ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Sandia National Laboratories' wind energy researchers are re-evaluating vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) to help solve some of the problems of generating energy from offshore ...

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 ...

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 ...

We interviewed the core team at Norway's World Wide Wind (WWW) to learn more about its floating, tilting, contra-rotating, double turbine design, which it says can unlock unprecedented scale, power ...

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