The awareness of a greener future and its benefits is getting all the right attention in Europe. With the current climate conditions and with energy bills skyrocketing, every other person in the ...

Our search for renewable sources is already moving beyond efficiency alone to a combination of efficiency + low cost + beautiful design. This is because at a time when solar panels dominate rooftops ...

The residential energy production market is undergoing a revolutionary transformation that threatens the monopoly that solar panels enjoy over the market. Residents are learning about more powerful ...

Discover the future of wind energy as we compare traditional horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) with the innovative IceWind ...

Residential micro wind turbines may one day become a popular way for people to produce their own power at home. Over the Fourth of July weekend, folks in Port Aransas Beach, Texas will be able to see ...

With winter said to reduce solar panels’ efficiency, 10 kW of power even during snowfalls could mean better, cleaner energy generation even during harsher winter conditions. With wind energy ...

EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...

A "wind tree" installed at the COP21 climate talks in Paris. Each tree produces enough energy to light 71 parking spaces (or power one average American home for four months). Courtesy New Wind ...

The now-familiar sight of traditional propeller wind turbines could be replaced in the future with wind farms containing more compact and efficient vertical turbines. New research has found that the ...

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 ...
