We’ve all got a pretty good mental image of the traditional wind-powered generator: essentially a big propeller on a stick. Some might also be familiar with vertical wind turbines, which can ...

For many environmental enthusiasts, horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) — the kind that look like windmills slowly spinning in the distance — are a pretty familiar sight. Unfortunately ...

Wind turbines are necessary for ensuring society’s sustainable future, but they still have a recycling problem. Decommissioned installations are destined for landfills in many cases, while the ...

Apr. 25, 2024 — Interactions between wind turbines could reduce power output by 30% in proposed offshore wind farm areas along the East Coast, new research has found. In all, the farms could ...

Each will be cut into three, then the pieces will be stacked and buried. Turbines from the first great 1990s wave of wind power are reaching the end of their life expectancy today. About two ...

Farmers once used windmills to grind their grains and pump water. Today, more and more wind turbines wring electricity from the breeze. Over the past decade, wind turbine use has increased more ...

Mini's Superleggera Vision Concept may not be a Paris Motor Show debut, but this is the first time we've seen this stunning all-electric roadster in the metal, having been first shown on the tony ...

To get things up and running again, you need a portable generator. The quietest, lightest, and most powerful 2,200-watt generator we tested is easy to start, and the Bluetooth app makes monitoring ...

Commissioned in 2010, the wind farm disfigured the precious landscape while offering virtually nothing in the way of jobs or ...

such as the bladeless concept from Spanish firm Vortex. Instead of spinning blades, the turbines are more like pillars that quiver in the wind. Vortex claims they are "harmless" to birds ...

That's because they're perfectly shaped to capture the wind's kinetic energy. The blades spin a shaft, which is connected to a generator. Inside the generator, copper coils turn through a magnetic ...
