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 ...

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% ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The clean energy craze was nothing like what it is today back in 2008. A weird-looking machine started to pop up around this time. It was a clunky-looking bit of machinery, nothing like the turbines ...

Onshore, offshore, and up in the air—the power of wind is evident in the changing energy landscape. Advancements in wind power technology are many, with developers in both the onshore and offshore ...

The Savonius turbine is a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) suitable to be mounted on rooftops of highrise buildings. It is a viable technology for power generation. The operating parameters and rotor ...
