As unconventional wind turbines go, the flapping machine introduced by Tunisian company Tyer Wind is on the far edge of quirky. Employing dual oscillating blades that mimic the figure-8 motion of the ...

The first modern wind turbines designed for bulk electricity generation came online gradually throughout the 80s and early 90s. By today’s standards these turbines are barely recognizable. They were ...

With natural gas serving as the fuel de jour, many utilities and merchant generators will be considering the purchase of new combustion turbines in the near future. If you are in the market for a gas ...

Scientists have designed a new wind turbine that they say can better recover from turbulent conditions. By adding rotors to turbines, it will help them rebound from what are known as wakes. The new ...

Composite materials are ideal for producing wind turbine blades because of their strength, light weight, and ability to be tailored to provide the precise mechanical properties needed for any blade ...

Utilization of additive manufacturing for gas turbine component design has been demonstrated to accelerate design cycle times, reduce development test times, provide increased test data and serve to ...

Lower costs, cheaper wind turbines and hurricane safe. That’s the future of offshore wind energy promised by SeaTwirl, a company that makes vertical wind turbines. These new turbines have capabilities ...

Wind power usually brings to mind towering machines, massive blades, and construction crews pouring concrete deep into the ...

Imagine powering your household appliances with a wheel-shaped sail hoisted above your roof. This idea may seem absurd to you, but it doesn't to the energy and innovation folks behind General Electric ...
