Discover how to create a compact vertical-axis wind turbine with everyday materials in this detailed step-by-step guide. Watch as we build composite turbine blades, assemble a helical rotor, and ...

This vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) uses five 3” PVC pipes cut in half for blades rotating on three kids bicycle wheels to spin an Ametek 38 volt motor or a wind blue alternator. The whole thing ...

Discover how to build a vertical-axis wind turbine using everyday materials in this step-by-step guide. Learn the principles of the Savonius rotor, from assembling the base using heat sinks and a ...

There are plenty of places outside where you may like to have a project requiring electricity that may not get enough sun for solar power to be viable. Perhaps wind power could be used instead? [Greg] ...

The now-familiar sight of traditional propeller wind turbines could be replaced in the future with wind farms containing more compact and efficient vertical turbines. New research has found that the ...

A concept rendering of offshore vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). What makes renewable energy so exciting is the immense economic potential of groundbreaking technology advancements. A recent ...

Propeller wind turbines are the most common way of using one of the most abundant energy sources on Earth to generate electricity. The tall three-bladed fans are the ubiquitous symbol of wind energy, ...

A "wind tree" installed at the COP21 climate talks in Paris. Each tree produces enough energy to light 71 parking spaces (or power one average American home for four months). Courtesy New Wind ...

The remote Alaskan village of Igiugig—home to about 50 people—will be the first to demonstrate a new approach to wind power that could boost power output and, its inventors say, just might make it ...
