This week's Windpower show in Dallas looks to host several kinds of wind turbines that depart from the traditional horizontal axis design. At least one company will show a design that eliminates the ...

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 ...

Discover the journey of Icewind and its founder, Sæþór Ásgeirsson, as they revolutionize renewable energy with innovative vertical axis wind turbines designed in Iceland. From the grassroots ...

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 ...

Wind energy is recognized as an essential part of the shift to sustainable energy shift. However, its involvement in distributed energy generation is limited by the tendency to build turbines for ...

Indeed, it's two vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) in one, tuned to rotate in opposite directions. With one turbine attached to the generator's rotor, and the other to the stator, you double their ...

The generator's rotor and stator are then connected to a pair of vertical-axis turbines, each running three blades at 45 degrees from the main tower shaft. The lower turbine is set to rotate in one ...

We feature a lot of off-grid power projects here at Hackaday, whether they’re a micropower harvester or something to power a whole house. Somewhere in the middle lies [esposcar90]’s 3D-printed ...

The North Sea is a dynamic shelf sea, strongly influenced by wind and tidal forces and characterized by seasonal stratification. Its physical environment plays a critical role in driving ...
