were vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT), meaning they spun perpendicular to the wind, rather than parallel. Due to their slower rotation speed, VAWTs are less noisy than HAWTs and achieve greater ...

This project investigates a novel wind-powered water desalination technology for sustainable fresh water production. The project will focus on developing new vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) ...

Small wind turbines can provide a surprising amount of power in the right conditions. For example, a homeowner in Spain installed a small vertical axis wind turbine on his roof. This turbine has a ...

Wind repowering means revamping old turbines with more efficient components, or putting in new, state-of-the-art turbines on ...

If you’ve ever worried about what might happen if your aircraft loses power, this little fan is here to calm your nerves.

It is expected to generate up to 15 megawatts of electricity – enough to power thousands of homes – and will be just one in an array of 10 such turbines ... as a vertical axis wind turbine ...

Machine Learning Enables Viability of Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines Apr. 3 ... exposure to wind farm and road traffic noise triggers a small increase in people waking from their slumber that ...

This market encompasses a range of small-scale wind turbines designed for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, typically with capacities ranging from a few kilowatts to a few hundred ...

However, while the electricity it generates has a small carbon footprint, the towers of conventional wind turbines are predominately made using carbon-intensive materials like steel. Swedish ...

New wind turbines could produce electricity more quietly than conventional systems. Instead of rotating horizontally, the rotor blades of the wind turbines optimized by Swiss researchers rotate ...

For the first time since the mid-1990s, U.S. wind generation dropped in 2023, according to government figures. The slump is ...
