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 ...

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 ...

The 1964 Chrysler Turbine Car was an ambitious attempt to revolutionize the automotive landscape with its cutting-edge gas ...

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 ...

The type of wind turbine you’re used to seeing in stock photos of wind farms is called a horizontal axis wind turbine (or, HAWT). But there is another form of wind power, called a vertical axis wind ...

Researchers at Concordia University have developed a new way to make small wind turbines, ...

The Darwind5 Trekker series of portable wind turbines are billed as next-generation Darrieus "eggbeater" powered generators. The design is said to deliver 35% better annual power production than any ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The world’s first urban wind turbine designed by AI has been unveiled in the UK. Called the Birmingham Blade, the turbine is ...

Gas turbine engine components are prone to high- and low-cycle fatigue (HCF and LCF), cracking in critical areas of high stress. Cracks often initiate from local stress concentrations created by ...

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 ...

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 ...

The now-familiar sight of traditional propeller wind turbines could be replaced in the future with wind farms containing more compact and efficient vertical turbines. New research has found that the ...
