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 ...

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

This feature is billed as a first for Darrieus eggbeater turbines. One or more generator sets sit at the base of the turbine to produce from 500 W to 1.5 kW in a 1.2-m working diameter.

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 ...

At a height of 30 ft. tall and only 2 feet wide, the WindSpire converts wind energy into measurable electricity through a vertical design, a rotor/generator system (with a low speed giromill and ...

Small wind turbines don’t use the same technology found on the megawatt-scale behemoths populating wind farms. Here are a few of the main differences.
