15 April – US-based Hunt Aviation, Corp is conducting tests on a high efficiency vertical axis wind turbine prototype that based on company engineering studies may produce over twice as much power ...

Scientists show a bionic approach combining features of a seagull's wing with an engineered flow control accessory, known as a Gurney flap, can greatly improve wind turbine performance. To achieve the ...

The world’s first urban wind turbine designed by AI has been unveiled in the UK. Called the Birmingham Blade, the turbine is jointly developed by AI design specialists EvoPhase and precision metal ...

More and more homeowners are adopting renewable energy sources. Many are going for solar panels, and others are choosing wind turbines — and it's all about energy efficiency. So, which source is more ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Wind turbines may seem innocuous enough, but they have the potential to reshape the air birds fly through. In a recent Scientific ...

Energy experts generally agree: Part of the answer to supplying the U.S. with clean, renewable, and abundant energy is just offshore, blowin' in the wind. Energy generated by wind turbines floating in ...

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 ...

In fact, the turbines were able to reach an efficiency of 53%, which is just shy of Betz's Law, a theorem that says no wind turbine would be able to convert more than about 59.3% of wind energy into ...
