Wind Energy Using Kites Produces 10kW of Free Electricity
A recent experiment performed by a team of researchers from the Delft University in Netherlands (aka country of wind mills) used kites to transform the wind power into electricity. They created 10kW of electricity with their project, which is sufficient to power about 10 households with normal energy requirements.
StatoilHydro Will Build World’s First Floating Wind Turbine
The Norwegian state oil company StatoilHydro is about to build “Hywind”, the world’s first functional floating wind turbine, and to test it for two years offshore Karmøy. They have developed HyWind based on familiar concrete constructions floating from North Sea oil installations.
Jet Engine-Like Wind Turbine - 4 Times More Efficient
Here’s an invention that should capture more of the world’s attention, because it can capture more of the world’s winds. Flodesign’s “jet engine”-shaped wind turbine has a slightly different way of seeing the wind flow, and by this it is three to four times more efficient.
Bluenergy: Wind and Solar Power in One Piece
BSWT is a vertical wind turbine based on sailing engineering. The wind rotor is rotated by two spiral-formed vanes. For best performance, these vanes are covered in solar cells, so that sun and wind produce electricity as one element. The BSWT installation costs relatively little, produces no noise or significant shadowing, can be easily maintained [...]
Levitating Magnetic Wind Turbine - efficiency made in China
What could result if you combine magnetic power, wind power, and a huge-sized facility? Energy!!! It even results a lot of energy. How do you call it when you put in 53 million dollars and get 214 million dollars out of it? Profit! So… profit+energy=CHEAP!
The chinese have done it again! They are now building maglev [...]
