Ontario, Canada has carved out a niche for itself as a hub of green technology. One of the latest clean tech innovations to come out of that province is DARWIND5, a vertical axis wind turbin... Read more
18 V2 vertical axis wind turbines on the medical center’s roof Venger Wind and US renewable distributor SWG Energy just installed the world’s largest rooftop wind farm atop the Oklahoma Medi... Read more
The winds of change have blown VAWTs’ way once more. Sandia National Laboratories’ wind energy researchers are re-evaluating vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) to help solve some of the pro... Read more
Streetlamps burn all night long, 365 nights a year, yet they also spend all day soaking up the Sun’s rays. This combination of regular usage alternating with sunlight exposure would seem to... Read more
Chinese researchers have now developed a biologically inspired control system Wind turbines are exposed to a wide variety of wind conditions, from zephyrs to gales, and ensuring the maximum... Read more
Conventional wisdom suggests that because we’re approaching the theoretical limit on individual wind turbine efficiency, wind energy is now a mature technology. But California Institut... Read more
When most people think of wind power they think of large-scale wind farms with fields of huge three-bladed horizontal axis turbines. With such farms requiring lots of room they are generally... Read more
