Positioning wind turbines to maximise outputs is critical to the design of wind farms. Professor Tzanakis comments "This study evidences that the future of wind farms should be vertical.

A Norwegian startup claims that its strange wind turbine design will be able to produce more than double the electricity of the largest unit on the planet. But first they have to prove it works.

The wind turbine, tower and underwater assembly rotate as one unit. Above the water surface but below the turbine is an enclosed generator housing. The entire turbine is held down on the seabed by ...

DARWIND5 is a new Darriues-based low-mount vertical axis wind turbine that comes with a promise of more power and better looks.

SeaTwirl's design rigidly mounts three VAWT blades on a long, buoyant pole with a low center of gravity and a heavy weight at the bottom acting as a keel. This sits in a static generator ring ...

In a Savonius turbine, blades are mounted on a vertical axis allowing for a smaller, less complicated build than traditional horizontal axis wind turbines. The design is named for its inventor ...

The qr5's helical design allows the turbine to collect wind from all directions equally. Where To Find It /// The first qr5 turbine was installed in Dagenham, a suburb of London, in March 2007.
