VAWTs spin around an axis vertical to the ground, and the team asserts that if they’re set in pairs, they’d be 15% more efficient because the wind turbines would increase each other’s ...

Vertical wind turbines have greater structural strength to withstand hurricane -force winds, which makes them a better investment for offshore wind farms. Related: Massive new wind turbine design ...

The engineer has signed a memorandum of agreement to support the project’s design. The end of the 1970s oil crisis also took the steam out of ongoing vertical-axis turbine development in the U.S.

These scale model wind turbines use fixed-pitch blades to evaluate a new vertical axis wind turbine design. Vertical axis wind turbines are easier to install than traditional horizontal axis wind ...

Imagine generating 2,500 Watts from wind with absolutely no windmill required. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it is true, ...

This finding demands further study of condensed wind farms since the current turbine designs are meant to be used in a singular application. When installed in close proximity to one another, the ...

Optimization of a vertical axis wind turbine for application in an urban/suburban area. Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, 2017; 9 (4): 043302 DOI: 10.1063/1.4994574 ...

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.

It is hoped that the McCamley MT01 Mk2 vertical-axis wind turbine will revolutionize the renewables industry and one has been installed for the first time in the UK at Keele University.

In a Savonius turbine, blades are mounted on a vertical axis allowing for a smaller, less complicated build than traditional horizontal axis wind turbines. The design is named for its inventor ...

Offshore wind turbines have problems that include high construction and maintenance costs and the risk of toppling in high seas or strong winds, especially for floating turbines. These problems ...
