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 ...

The type of wind turbine you’re used to seeing in stock photos of wind farms is called a horizontal axis wind turbine (or, HAWT). But there is another form of wind power, called a vertical axis ...

Vertical wind turbines promise to increase efficiency and decrease the footprint of offshore wind farms.

World Wide Wind has drawn up a prototype of a vertical wind turbine that looks more like a tree, but will be the largest wind turbine out there.

The WinDIY design is mostly 3D printed, with a familiar three-bladed design. The diameter of the rotor is 1.2 m, meaning that braking and regulating the turbine is required for safety in high winds.

The Odessa American is the leading source of local news, information, entertainment and sports for the Permian Basin.

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 from Oxford ...

He goes on: “We are not competing with HAWT; we really offer a completely different ‘Iron in the Fire’ with regard to deploying utility-scale floating wind turbines.” ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., February 28, 2017 -- The sight of propeller-like rotating blades positioned high up the pole of a tall horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) may be familiar to many. Often grouped ...

But at least one expert has claimed the 6-megawatt horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) design deployed at Hywind is not groundbreaking enough to meet the industry’s future needs.

Wind farm turbines tend to fall into two types. Three-bladed, horizontal-axis wind turbines are more common – the world’s biggest HAWT farm opened off the coast of Kent, UK this week.
