When you think of a wind turbine, the image that likely pops into your mind is the classic three-bladed giant rising from farmland or the sea. But over the years, designers and engineers have come up ...

Wind power has always been a trade off between clean energy and the visual, acoustic, and ecological cost of giant spinning blades. A new generation of radical designs promises something different, ...

Wind power has become one of the pillars of the global energy transition, yet the basic silhouette of the modern turbine, a tall tower with three sweeping blades, has barely changed in decades. Now a ...

The future of renewable energy might be in the sky. Researchers in China have reportedly tested a new, gravity-defying wind turbine system that they say could generate power from the airspace above ...

Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... a 20,000 cubic-meter power-generating airship, floating 6,560 ft (2,000 meters) above the ground. Introducing the S2000 stratospheric airborne ...

Thanks to the development of new, lightweight rotors, engineers in Germany have created a small wind turbine that excels at efficiency, even when breezes aren't blowing strongly. The development is a ...

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 ...

GustoMSC, through its parent company NOV, has secured contracts for the design and supply of critical equipment for Hanwha ...

By 2050, offshore wind power capacity in the North Sea is set to increase more than tenfold. Researchers at the Helmholtz ...
