Decades ago, engineers largely dismissed vertical-axis wind turbines—which spin around a central axis like a top—because they could not match the efficiency of the propeller-like turbines common today ...
Insights from a new study could help unlock the full potential of a developing form of smaller-scale wind power generation, researchers say. Engineers from the University of Glasgow have used ...
Engineers from the University of Glasgow have revealed a new design for bladeless wind turbines that has the potential to optimize efficiency. Published in the Renewable Energy journal, the study used ...
December 12, 2008 Massachusetts-based FloDesign has developed a wind turbine that could generate electricity at half the cost of conventional wind turbines. The company's design, which draws on ...
It’s no longer surprising to encounter 100-foot pinwheels spinning in the breeze as you drive down the highway. But don’t get too comfortable with that view. A Spanish company called Vortex Bladeless ...
). Tittle criticized New Jersey's withholding support for offshore wind turbines. Carey described the devastation wind installations wreak on avian species and ocean mammals. On land, wind power's ...
A little known start-up company has developed an aircraft that harnesses energy from gusting winds more efficiently than conventional wind turbines. Makani Power's Airborne Wind Turbine was one of the ...
Designed to rise 1,000 feet in the air and deliver electricity to the ground, the Buoyant Airborne Turbine is a blimp on a mission. Not all wind turbines are alike. While the great majority are large ...
In the Netherlands, scientists from the aerospace engineering department of the Technology University in Delft are testing the ability of giant kites to harvest energy from high speed, high altitude ...
The next major innovation in wind power might not involve big, white turbines dotting the countryside. KQED QUEST reports on research being done on "tethered airfoils" that could capture wind energy ...
Kites aren’t just for kids anymore. Just ask Makani Power, which is developing a smart energy kite that can generate up to 50 percent more electricity than a conventional wind turbine. The company has ...
