Floating wind farms are proving to be a remarkable force in renewable energy generation. Specifically, their resilience in withstanding Category 5 storms is gaining attention. This resilience is ...

There is a 2,400 W garden-sized bladeless turbine that is so unconventional that it might just work when the weather won't.

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 ...

The U.S. was once set to lead in offshore wind, with years of research, investment, and a 40-state supply chain promising ...

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 Norwegian company wants to help Norway reach its goal of harnessing 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind by 2040 with its new vertical turbines. World Wide Wind claims it has developed a turbine with a ...

By accounting for blade deformation, the computationally-efficient model will allow for the safe design of bigger blades.

Norwegian startup company World Wide Wind (WWW) has unveiled designs for floating vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) for offshore wind farms to generate renewable energy. The turbines feature two ...

Placing wind turbines in deep water could be an important tool in the battle in saving ocean ecosystems from the worst impacts of climate change. So far, offshore wind farms around the UK have been in ...

Amid a global boom in onshore and offshore wind farming, turbine waste is expected to accelerate in the coming decades.

When Dutch architect Jos de Krieger calls a decommissioned turbine nacelle “the most complex thing you can possibly upcycle,” ...

A play on words referring to the turbine component known as a "nacelle"—this two room human hutch is surprisingly luminous.
