Vertical axis wind turbines, the modern day answer to windmills, can be retrofitted to power your home or business. This alternative energy source uses a renewable resource, wind, to help keep ...

From sculptural “wind trees” to massive offshore walls of rotors. Six strange turbine designs pushing the boundaries of ...

The world's first offshore wind farm was installed in 1991 off the coast of Vindeby on the Danish island of Lolland. It included 11 turbines with a capacity of 450 kW each, and the project cost 10 ...

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 ...

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) are nothing like those giant pillars. These are sleek and quieter turbines that generate electricity for your urban and suburban settings.

Freen OÜ is transforming urban and rural landscapes with its cutting-edge Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) Our mission is to democratize access to wind energy and make it viable in places where ...

The new 6-bladed IceWind vertical axis turbine for electrical power generation from wind.

The generator in a vertical-axis turbine, on the other hand, can be placed anywhere on said vertical axis; in an offshore context, this means it can be at the waterline or below, adding weight where ...

Bring On the Typhoons? Unfortunately, the conventional three-bladed wind turbines you see dotting the plains can’t stand up to the awesome power of typhoons. But vertical axis wind turbines can.

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 ...

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

The Olympic Delivery Authority has installed vertical axis wind turbines in London’s Olympic Park after plans to place a single, giant wind turbine fell through. TheLondon 2012 Olympic Games has ...
