Airloom Energy has designed a wind-turbine system that resembles a roller coaster and could offer some serious advantages.

An exceptionally odd clean energy project backed by Bill Gates has broken ground near Rock River, Wyoming, where a wind turbine that turns convention on its head will get a chance to prove its ...

University of Glasgow researchers are working to unlock the potential of bladeless wind power. For the first time, computer simulations of bladeless wind turbines (BWTs) have pinpointed the most ...

Construction is underway on a pilot site to test wind turbines designed for faster, cheaper, and more efficient energy ...

Insights from a new study could help unlock the full potential of a developing form of smaller-scale wind power generation, researchers say.

“The simplest model is selling to a farm or a business,” said Josh Groleau, chief executive officer of Pecos Wind Power, an early-stage wind turbine manufacturer developing an 85-kilowatt ...

I want my own wind turbine. I know how much power hides in a light breeze. I’ve seen modest winds send a 350-ton ship across miles of ocean. Small turbines mounted on the boat’s rail, little ...

For turbine design experts, like Griffith, the growing power of offshore wind turbines is exciting — pushing the boundaries of physics. But the speed is also concerning, with massive models ...

Norway's World Wide Wind has a radically different take on offshore wind power. These floating, vertical-axis wind turbines feature two sets of blades, tuned to contra-rotate – and they promise ...

The first, full-sized floating offshore wind turbine in the United States will tower 850 feet above the waves in the Gulf of Maine – roughly as tall as New York City’s famed 30 Rockefeller ...

In this Friday, Sept. 20, 2013 photo, the University of Maine's 9,000-pound prototype wind turbine generates power off the coast of Castine, Maine.
