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 ...

Discover the future of wind energy with our in-depth comparison between vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and traditional horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs). This video focuses on the innovative ...

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% ...

Even as more offshore wind projects launch and the turbines they use get bigger, there are questions around offshore wind’s economic viability. Unsurprisingly, hauling huge equipment with multiple ...

Discover the future of wind energy as we compare traditional horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) with the innovative IceWind vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). This video explores the key differences ...

Lower costs, cheaper wind turbines and hurricane safe. That’s the future of offshore wind energy promised by SeaTwirl, a company that makes vertical wind turbines. These new turbines have capabilities ...

A cutting-edge vertical axis turbine (VAWT) will undergo trials near Adelaide through a partnership between Australia's Flinders University and start-up VAWT-X Energy. The team has developed and ...

The trend in turbine design has been toward taller and bigger, as the wind power industry tries to maximize generating capacity. But researchers from Caltech suggest the developers might be going ...

Researchers at CalTech have found a way to increase the power output of wind farms at least 10x simply by optimizing the placement of wind turbines in a farm to "maximize its energy collecting ...

If Don Quixote believed that the windmills in La Mancha were giants, we don't want to imagine what he would think of the ...

Researchers have used a genetic learning algorithm to identify optimal pitch profiles for the blades of vertical-axis wind turbines, which despite their high energy potential, have until now been ...
