The Belgian start-up Philéole has developed a vertical-axis wind turbine for sailboats that captures air currents from all directions while sailing, thereby generating electricity for the onboard ...
EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...
Wind power technology in 2025 pushed well beyond incremental upgrades, with engineers rethinking how, where, and even what wind turbines look like. From floating giants the size of city blocks and ...
Researchers at CalTech have found a way to increase the power output of wind farms at least 10x simply by optimizing the placement of wind turbines in a farm to "maximize its energy collecting ...
When you think of a wind turbine, the image that likely pops into your ...
People interested in reducing their carbon footprint, along with their monthly energy costs, have an array of options to consider. One of them is wind power. If you've narrowed down your options and ...
