Vertical axis vs. traditional wind turbines: Why "Ice Wind" is changing renewable energy!
Discover the future of wind energy with our in-depth comparison between vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and traditional horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs). This video focuses on the innovative ...
A Norwegian company wants to help Norway reach its goal of harnessing 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind by 2040 with its new vertical turbines. World Wide Wind claims it has developed a turbine with a ...
View gallery - 8 images Swedish company SeaTwirl says its floating vertical-axis wind turbines have what it takes to dramatically reduce the cost of deep offshore wind energy, and it's signed a deal ...
Norway's World Wide Wind has a radically different take on offshore wind power. These floating, vertical-axis wind turbines feature two sets of blades, tuned to contra-rotate – and they promise more ...
Are we stuck in a rut when it comes to wind turbine design? For decades, horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) have dominated the renewable energy landscape, towering over fields and oceans as the ...
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 ...
