A new computational study shows that capping the open tips of helical J-shaped blades boosts vertical-axis wind turbine ...

At the University of Waterloo, researchers have developed an innovative vertical-axis wind turbine featuring adjustable ...

Are we stuck in a rut when it comes to wind turbine design? For decades, horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) have dominated the renewable energy landscape, towering over fields and oceans as the ...

Since revealing a concept for an energy generating wall back in 2021, designer Joe Doucet has been working on bringing the idea to life. That time is here with the launch of Airiva, a modular rotary ...

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% ...

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have discovered that placing vertical-axis wind turbines closer together can produce ...

A new “vertical axis” wind turbine (VAWT) that takes up less space than normal turbines—and is supposed to be safer for birdlife—could step in where regular turbines are proving impractical. The ...
