Floating wind farms have enormous energy potential, capable of producing more energy than solar panels or onshore wind. A robust set of floating turbines could unlock up to 2.8 terawatts of clean ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration on Thursday announced plans to develop floating platforms in the deep ocean for wind towers that could power millions of homes and vastly expand offshore ...

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 more ...

Floating wind farms offer a solution to harness stronger winds in deeper waters where traditional fixed turbines are not feasible. This technology presents environmental advantages, including less ...

The makers of wind turbines have, for many decades now, labored to harness one of the mightiest forces in nature. They’ve moved from onshore to offshore sites, building ever larger rotors with huge ...

Most of the world's greatest wind power resources are offshore – often a long way offshore, where the water's so deep that it's impractical to build typical fan-on-a-stick wind turbines with bases ...

Swedish wind turbine maker SeaTwirl announced today that it’s gotten its first commercial order for its vertical-axis floating wind turbine. The purchase is for a new vertical-axis floating wind ...

If you have watched the Tri-Cities’ forceful springtime winds toss everything from tumbleweeds to trampolines, you have seen the power that could be harnessed as a clean energy source. While ...

A 2.5 gigawatt (GW) Swedish floating offshore wind farm is going to be paired with an innovative sustainable fish farming system. Sweden-based Freja Offshore, a joint venture between floating offshore ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about biodiversity and the hidden quirks of the natural world. Engineers have been tinkering with different offshore wind ...

Taiwan is making significant strides in the development of floating offshore wind power. As the capacity for wind power in shallow coastal areas gradually reaches its limit, offshore wind developers ...

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 Plaza. The ...
