Looking somewhat like a giant reed gently swaying in the wind, the new Vortexbladeless wind-driven generator prototype produces electricity with very few moving parts, on avery small footprint, and in ...

What do you get if you take the blades off a wind turbine? A better wind turbine. That sounds like a joke, but that’s actually more or less the model of a new wind turbine prototype. Instead of blades ...

The turbines we currently use for wind power are incredibly advanced pieces of technology. Everything inside of them –from the shape of their airfoils to the generators they spin– has been ...

Across the world, wind power is growing fast—but not fast enough. To meet climate goals and reach carbon neutrality, the United Nations says global wind energy must triple in the next ten years.

The atmospheric vortex engine exploits the natural energy content of the vortex produced during upward heat convection in the atmosphere. The heat source can be solar energy, warm sea water, warm ...

Wind power has become a legitimate source of energy over the past few decades as larger, more efficient turbine designs have produced ever-increasing amounts of power. But even though the industry saw ...

In this special guest feature, Robert Roe from Scientific Computing World writes that HPC simulation provides a platform to develop advancements in energy generation technologies. Through the use of ...

Wind currently accounts for 10,3% of America’s electricity a number that continues to grow year on year thanks to the support that our country offers to this type of technology. However, each wind ...

When asked as "wind power generator", many people remind me of windmill wing type rotors with huge feathers as large as several tens of meters in diameter, and indeed many windmills are used in ...

The first power-generation wind turbine was developed by Scottish professor James Blyth in 1887. Through his successful development, Blyth established a key invention that initiated the process of ...
