For many environmental enthusiasts, horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) — the kind that look like windmills slowly spinning in the distance — are a pretty familiar sight. Unfortunately ...

Shrink one of those to about a quarter of its size, and you have one type of home wind turbine. Manufacturers have come up with a number of creative designs that fall into one of two categories: ...

The growing global focus on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has become a central driver of the transition to renewable energy sources, including wind energy. International agreements, such as ...

This vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) uses five 3” PVC pipes cut in half for blades rotating on three kids bicycle wheels to spin an Ametek 38 volt motor or a wind blue alternator. The whole ...

Ultimately VAWT-X envisages turbines in the up to 500kW range. VAWT-X managing director Gary Andrews told Recharge that his company is not aiming to compete with large-scale horizontal axis wind ...

With a significance wind energy market share in 2018, Brazil is dominating the region and is expected to dominate the market ...

One of the key studies investigated the impact of a ducted diffuser on a micro horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT). The research demonstrated that using a specially designed duct could increase ...

We assist in stretching the boundaries of current horizontal axis, three-bladed, downwind wind turbines to 12MW and beyond. Offshore wind development after 2030 will require groundbreaking, beyond ...
