As our technology advances, new types of turbines for wind power generation are emerging. The Helix 3.0 can capture wind ...

A design firm from New York, Atelier DNA, has developed a concept that uses cattail like stalks instead of traditional turbine blades for harnessing the power of wind. Planned for the city of Masdar, ...

Online misinformation about the longevity of wind turbines has muddied the waters regarding their actual lifespan. The truth is that most can last decades.

Humanity has been harvesting energy from the wind for centuries. The practice goes back at least to 8th century Persia where the first known historical records of windmills came, but likely extends ...

The world's strongest winds race high in the sky, but that doesn't mean they're out of reach as a potentially potent energy source. Flying, swooping and floating turbines are being developed to turn ...

The Asian country takes another step in its commitment to wind energy. A flying turbine that is quiet and less visible at ground level.

Wind energy is taking off all over again. This time, literally. In China, a multi-institute research and development project has created a series of large-scale floating turbine prototypes. The helium ...

Has affordable, practical home wind power generation become a reality? The Honeywell Windgate wind turbine from EarthTronics looks like it could be a contender. Developers EarthTronics and Honeywell ...

Researchers have modeled the fluid dynamics of multi-rotor wind turbines via high-resolution numerical simulations. The simulations demonstrate a clear advantage for a turbine model with four rotors.
