Airloom Energy has designed a wind-turbine system that resembles a roller coaster and could offer some serious advantages.

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 ...

[Photo: World Wide Wind] How it works. The concept of vertical axis turbines is not new, but the architecture of this machine—which the company says is patent pending—is radically different.

Swedish wind turbine maker SeaTwirl got the go-ahead to test its 1 megawatt (MW) S2X vertical-axis floating offshore prototype in Norway.. Vertical-axis floating wind turbine pilot. In March 2022 ...

With this success under its belt, SeaTwirl now wants to go bigger—a lot bigger. It’s preparing to build a turbine called the S2x, which will be able to generate one megawatt of electricity and will ...

If you are using a wind turbine as a backup power source to charge a whole house battery or to supplement another power source like solar panels, you can find a small, 1.5 kilowatt, vertical axis ...

New vertical axis wind turbines that could be a game-changer for distributed generation powering farms, factories and apartment blocks are being taken for a trial spin by a team in Australia. Flinders ...

Vertical-axis wind turbines with their high energy potential, have until now been vulnerable to strong gusts of wind. The explanatory open access paper has been published Nature Communications.
