[Photo: World Wide Wind] How it works. The concept of vertical axis turbines is not new, but the architecture of this machine—which the company says is patent pending—is radically different.

When you consider today’s industrial wind turbine, you likely picture the windmill design, technically known as a horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT). But the very first wind turbines, which ...

When we think of wind farms, most of us picture towering horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT), with their three ginormous blades spinning from a horizontal axis.But a vertical axis wind turbine ...

Horizontal-axis turbines come in a number of different styles and designs. These can harness the wind’s energy from multiple angles, so they don’t need to be adjusted when the wind changes ...
