Since 2000, wind energy has increased drastically across the globe. In the United States alone, wind electricity generation has risen from 6 billion kilowatt-hours in 2000 to about 430 billion in ...

A new vertical wind turbine design by SeaTwirl creates a sort of buoy effect so that the turbines can be placed ... Above the water surface but below the turbine is an enclosed generator housing.

A Norwegian startup claims that its strange wind turbine design will be able to produce more than double the electricity of the largest unit on the planet. But first they have to prove it works.

University of Glasgow researchers are working to unlock the potential of bladeless wind power. For the first time, computer simulations of bladeless wind turbines (BWTs) have pinpointed the most ...

Here are 10 wind turbine designs that push the limits of the current design and may help the U.S. get back to being an A student by 2030. By Lisa Merolla Published: Dec 17, 2009 10:28 PM EST 1.

One advantage of this innovative wind-catching electric generator design is the relatively small size (a footprint of 8x10 feet – 2.4x3 meters – and 14.5feet / 4.4 meters in height).

Wind Harvest is bringing to market a possibly revolutionary but well-tested vertical axis wind turbine that operates on ungathered wind resources near the ground.

The world's first full-scale timber wind turbine has started turning in Sweden, with a tower built by wood technology company Modvion. The 105-metre-tall tower, located in the region of Skara, is ...

The new design is approximately 30% lighter and 70-80% smaller than the best existing generators in the global market, although it has yet to be fully optimized.

“Vineyard Wind and GE Vernova are also required to demonstrate that the newly manufactured blades meet the original design criteria, the WTG (wind turbine generator) is fit for service and has ...
