Wind power has always been a trade off between clean energy and the visual, acoustic, and ecological cost of giant spinning ...

The turbines we currently use for wind power are incredibly advanced pieces of technology. Everything inside of them –from the shape of their airfoils to the generators they spin– has been ...

Farms dotted with the gigantic spinning blades of wind turbines have become a standard sight on long-distance road trips, but what if there was another way to capture energy from the wind? A startup ...

An innovative wind turbine concept currently in the prototype phase captures the energy of vorticity, an aerodynamic effect also known as the “vortex shedding effect.” As the wind bypasses a fixed ...

Vortex Bladeless uses a radically new approach to capturing wind energy. The device captures the energy of vorticity, an aerodynamic effect that has plagued structural engineers and architects for ...

Could a bladeless wind turbine answer the issues with clean energy and save a few bird lives in the process? It can if you believe that the same technology we use to get your milkshake to your mouth ...

Across the world, wind power is growing fast—but not fast enough. To meet climate goals and reach carbon neutrality, the United Nations says global wind energy must triple in the next ten years.

A Spanish company is developing a wind turbine that doesn't require blades to generate energy. Unlike typical wind turbines, which use the breeze to spin blades that in turn power a generator, the ...
