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 ...

Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens has installed a renewable power source, further helping the effort of the Living Building Challenge, and achieving a new zero-energy goal. The Gale 10 ...

The awareness of a greener future and its benefits is getting all the right attention in Europe. With the current climate conditions and with energy bills skyrocketing, every other person in the ...

The remote Alaskan village of Igiugig—home to about 50 people—will be the first to demonstrate a new approach to wind power that could boost power output and, its inventors say, just might make it ...

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 ...

ALBUQUERQUE, July 31 (UPI) -- Vertical axis wind turbines have the potential to solve some of the problems of generating energy from offshore breezes, U.S. researchers say. The economics of offshore ...

Compact (H-type) vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are not as familiar as their horizontal-axis, propeller-type cousins. The two have their origins in the windmills of the 12th century, and even ...

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 ...

Vertical wind turbines are ideal for home use and we bring you one of the best on the market. Renewable energy systems are developing more and more rapidly and wind energy is one of the options ...

Think of wind turbines and massive blades spinning above Kansas prairies or off Danish coastlines are probably what comes to mind, but Minnesota-based Janulus has developed something a little more ...

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

Kevin Bullis, reporting for Technology Review: The blades of this type of wind turbine are arranged vertically—like poles on a carousel rather than spokes on a wheel, as with conventional wind ...
