Wind power has always been a trade off between clean energy and the visual, acoustic, and ecological cost of giant spinning ...
A novel 7-ft.-diameter wind turbine has set a record by producing 5.3 kW in a 32.5-mph wind. The design, from Selsam Innovations, Fullerton, Calif. (selsam.com), puts several rotors on a single carbon ...
Jeffrey S. of Layton, UT is the creator of the Wind Shifting Windmill, a two-part windmill designed to increase wind speed with stationary blades by shifting wind from one side of the vertical ...
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 ...
As the world innovates to become more sustainable and electrified, the demand for renewable energy generation grows. Wind energy has become key in increasing the renewable energy generation mix of ...
Rainier Square Tower, under construction in Seattle, is one of the buildings considered for the development of a performance-based wind design manual for tall buildings. Photo Courtesy of ...
Most of the world's greatest wind power resources are offshore – often a long way offshore, where the water's so deep that it's impractical to build typical fan-on-a-stick wind turbines with bases ...
A Beijing-based energy company has taken a major step toward commercial airborne wind power ...
Wind energy is increasingly seen as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, as it contributes to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. However, the rapid expansion of wind farms has raised ...
