Wind turbines are essentially steel towers topped with long, propellor-like blades. As the wind blows, those blades twirl around a rotor hub, which spins a generator to produce electricity.

According to the company, Bernhoff had been doing research on vertical wind turbines for more than 20 years, building his own 200 kilowatt (kW), 131-foot-high vertical turbine that was functional ...

Offline turbines, such as those waiting on generator or gearbox replacements, may not use the brake long-term, either, as turbines with blades pitched out of the wind can “pinwheel” for long ...

The first monopiles – the giant steel towers used as foundations for wind turbines – are being transported here in pieces from Germany to be welded and coated and deployed to Ocean Wind 1, New ...

Vertical-axis wind turbines with their high energy potential, have until now been vulnerable to strong gusts of wind. The explanatory open access paper has been published Nature Communications.

Wind turbines keep getting bigger: Each blade can be longer than a football field, and one offshore turbine recently installed in China is as tall as a 50-story building. Making the base to hold ...

The company’s low-profile turbine, also named Airloom, stands at just 82 feet (25 meters) tall, making it significantly smaller and lighter than conventional wind turbines that reach about 328 ...
