Savonius-type vertical-axis wind turbines are low-maintenance and can operate even in low wind speeds. However, you will need a good battery bank to store energy and also a charge controller for ...

EPFL researchers used a genetic algorithm to identify optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines, significantly increasing efficiency and reducing vibrations.

Vertical axis wind turbines, the modern day answer to windmills, can be retrofitted to power your home or business. This alternative energy source uses a renewable resource, wind, to help keep ...

A new vertical wind turbine design by SeaTwirl creates a sort of buoy effect so that the turbines can be placed where it couldn't have before.

These floating, vertical-axis wind turbines feature two sets of blades, tuned to contra-rotate – and they promise more than double the output of today's biggest turbines.

Since revealing an wind turbine wall concept back in 2021, Joe Doucet has been working on bringing the idea to life. That time is here with the launch of Airiva, a modular rotary wind turbine wall ...

Somewhere in the middle lies [esposcar90]’s 3D-printed vertical wind turbine, which it is claimed can deliver 100 watts from its diminutive tabletop package.

The world's first offshore wind farm was installed in 1991 off the coast of Vindeby on the Danish island of Lolland. It included 11 turbines with a capacity of 450 kW each, and the project cost 10 ...

The generator in a vertical-axis turbine, on the other hand, can be placed anywhere on said vertical axis; in an offshore context, this means it can be at the waterline or below, adding weight where ...
