Discover the future of wind energy with our in-depth comparison between vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and traditional ...

Wind power just became a lot more accessible. Canadian company Aurea has developed a portable wind turbine that fits in your backpack. Called Shine, it weighs just three pounds, it’s about the size of ...

As long as wind speeds are over 8mph, the Shine 2.0 turbine can generate power all day and night. As long as wind speeds are over 8mph, the Shine 2.0 turbine can generate power all day and night. is a ...

The now-familiar sight of traditional propeller wind turbines could be replaced in the future with wind farms containing more compact and efficient vertical turbines. New research has found that the ...

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% ...

The portable turbine sports three 23.6-inch (60-cm) composite-reinforced blades and can be had with a 6-ft-high tower mount accessory (with integrated level). It automatically turns itself into the ...

A concept rendering of offshore vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). What makes renewable energy so exciting is the immense economic potential of groundbreaking technology advancements. A recent ...

Research carried out by Oxford Brookes University has found that vertical turbine designs could make large wind farms more effective. In the study, the researchers compared traditional wind turbines ...

When you're out adventuring, staying connected is essential. Whether it's your phone, laptop or even a drone, everything seems to need a recharge just when you're in the most remote places. The ...

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 ...

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 ...
