With all the concentrated efforts toward achieving cleaner energy, a Spanish startup aims to reinvent wind turbines. Better said, it aims to offer an alternative to traditional wind farms, much like ...

Could a bladeless wind turbine answer the issues with clean energy and save a few bird lives in the process? It can if you believe that the same technology we use to get your milkshake to your mouth ...

Farms dotted with the gigantic spinning blades of wind turbines have become a standard sight on long-distance road trips, but what if there was another way to capture energy from the wind? A startup ...

Vortex Bladeless uses a radically new approach to capturing wind energy. The device captures the energy of vorticity, an aerodynamic effect that has plagued structural engineers and architects for ...

In this special guest feature, Robert Roe from Scientific Computing World writes that HPC simulation provides a platform to develop advancements in energy generation technologies. Through the use of ...

Picture a long, white rod. The rod has a smooth, curved head. Is your heart rate speeding up? The rod is undulating at a quick but steady pace. It’s moving back and forth. Are you sweating? Now ...

The performance of the NREL S807 airfoil is experimentally determined via wind tunnel testing. The tests are conducted at Reynolds numbers of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 10⁶, with a clean surface, with two ...

, is running late to show off the gutted Pearl District warehouse that will become the wind-turbine maker's flashy, eco-friendly headquarters. But she takes time to encourage a woman boarding a cab ...

A variety of aerodynamic control devices have been used for regulating wind turbines, some of which are briefly reviewed. Leading edge slats are proposed with the twofold functions of either ...
