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 ...

Freen OÜ is transforming urban and rural landscapes with its cutting-edge Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) Our mission is to democratize access to wind energy and make it viable in places where ...

Swedish wind turbine maker SeaTwirl announced today that it's gotten its first commercial vertical-axis floating wind turbine order.

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.

Airloom Energy's low-profile wind turbine replaces towering blades with lightweight wings on a track, offering faster, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 British government has approved plans for a 1,500-MW wind farm off the coast of Fylde in Lancashire, in northwestern England. The Morgan Offshore Wind ...

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 ...

Researchers have used a genetic learning algorithm to identify optimal pitch profiles for the blades of vertical-axis wind turbines, which despite their high energy potential, have until now been ...
