This vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) uses five 3” PVC pipes cut in half for blades rotating on three kids bicycle wheels to spin an Ametek 38 volt motor or a wind blue alternator. The whole ...

The evolution of offshore wind energy has brought new possibilities for harnessing stronger and more consistent sea winds.

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 ...

The world's first offshore wind farm was installed in 1991 off the coast of Vindeby on the Danish island of Lolland. It ...

What if you don’t put airfoils on a central, spinning axis ... way to install wind-based generators that can do away with those unsightly and massive 100+ meter tall wind turbines, whether ...

In this paper, a method for the determination of the aerodynamic performance characteristics using NACA airfoils is given for three bladed horizontal axis wind turbine. Blade geometry is obtained from ...
