A novel 7-ft.-diameter wind turbine has set a record by producing 5.3 kW in a 32.5-mph wind. The design, from Selsam Innovations, Fullerton, Calif. (selsam.com), puts several rotors on a single carbon ...

Jeffrey S. of Layton, UT is the creator of the Wind Shifting Windmill, a two-part windmill designed to increase wind speed with stationary blades by shifting wind from one side of the vertical ...

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 ...

Rainier Square Tower, under construction in Seattle, is one of the buildings considered for the development of a performance-based wind design manual for tall buildings. Photo Courtesy of ...

A New Tech High School senior wants to be an electrical engineer. So when the opportunity to design and build a small wind-powered electrical generator arose, Rawan Abu-Zaineh was understandably ...

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 ...

In a long-awaited, historic step toward “real" not cookbook wind engineering, the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers recently issued a recommended alternative ...

The design and optimisation of offshore wind farms have become pivotal in reducing capital expenditure and maximising energy yield in the renewable energy sector. Recent advances focus on optimising ...

Wind energy is increasingly seen as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, as it contributes to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. However, the rapid expansion of wind farms has raised ...
