Humanity has been harvesting energy from the wind for centuries. The practice goes back at least to 8th century Persia where the first known historical records of windmills came, but likely extends… ...

"I thought there should be a way to take advantage of frontal winds/air drag when driving an electric vehicle," said an ...

According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), there are three significant criteria that factor into whether your home is ideally situated for a small wind electric system. 1. Do you live in an ...

That said, it works best at wind speeds between 8.9 and 17.9 mph (14.3 and 28.8 km/h), so perhaps it would be better suited to use on a bike. The team says that the device has a wind-to-energy ...

This Amazing Roof-Mounted Electric Car Wind Generator Won't Work! Someone's high school physics teacher failed badly. Stirling Matheson January 9, 2014 Image via Complex Original ...

A PLANT which is said to represent the first serious attempt to study the generation of electricity by wind power on such a scale that its practical and economic possibilities may be judged, is ...

How fatuous those demands are is illustrated by U.S. Energy Information Administration data pegging the “capacity factor” of utility-scale wind generation for 2021 at 34.6%.

A dc motor driving an ac alternator was used to simulate an asynchronous wind electric generator. The output was used to drive a commercial air conditioning unit containing a hermetically sealed three ...

As with many clean energy options, there are significant up-front costs to installing a home wind turbine system, but if the installation of this kind of system is looked at as a long-term ...
