Research carried out by Oxford Brookes University has found that vertical turbine designs could make large wind farms more effective. In the study, the researchers compared traditional wind turbines ...

The now-familiar sight of traditional propeller wind turbines could be replaced in the future with wind farms containing more compact and efficient vertical turbines. New research has found that the ...

New research suggests the now-familiar sight of three-blade wind turbines should be replaced in future with more compact and efficient vertical turbines. Not only would the design change result in ...

The awareness of a greener future and its benefits is getting all the right attention in Europe. With the current climate conditions and with energy bills skyrocketing, every other person in the ...

Wind power is taking the front stage with a ground-breaking new design as the renewable energy landscape undergoes a rapid upheaval. With their remarkable blend of sustainability, efficiency, and ...

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 ...

Kevin Bullis, reporting for Technology Review: The blades of this type of wind turbine are arranged vertically—like poles on a carousel rather than spokes on a wheel, as with conventional wind ...
