W of power can also be produced even during snowfalls, as energy this winter can be generated from the quieter TESUP Atlas ...

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% ...

A modern day windmill that is good for the environment and your wallet. Sept. 16, 2010— -- Moving to alternative energy reduces our dependence on foreign oil, but it is not always easy or ...

Dutch startup Airturb has developed a 500 W hybrid wind-solar power system featuring a vertical axis wind turbine and a solar base hosting four 30 W solar panels. The system can be used for rooftop or ...

Wind power has always been a trade off between clean energy and the visual, acoustic, and ecological cost of giant spinning ...

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 ...

Belgian startup Philéole has developed Grain Blanc, a compact vertical-axis wind turbine designed to ...

Norway's World Wide Wind has a radically different take on offshore wind power. These floating, vertical-axis wind turbines feature two sets of blades, tuned to contra-rotate – and they promise more ...

The power supply for sailboats can be ensured by a wind turbine on the mast. The Grain Blanc is also suitable for buildings.
