Bladeless Wind Turbine Built by Solar Aero, Inspired by Nikola Tesla's Invention
Remember that Tesla turbine we wrote about two years ago? Or the Tesla turbine made out of a hard drive? Nikola Tesla patented these turbines back in 1913, but he wasn't able to build them properly because the metals he could use at that time didn't have the right thickness and quality.
Chicago's First Building Equipped With 12 Vertical Axis Wind Turbines
Chicago has become the first city that has a building (Greenway Self Park) equipped with 12 vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT). The turbines produced by Helix Wind are snugly fitted into the facade of the building, being placed in two columns on the southwest corner.
‘Wind Tree’ Proves the ‘Silent Wind turbine’ Oxymoron False
Wind Tree, as we can guess from the name, is a wind turbine that looks like a tree. But, that is just a speck...
Super-Efficient Vertical Wind Turbines for Home Use
A Taiwanese company called Hi Energy Technology has brought onto market a new design of a vertical wind turbine which they intend to sell for home use.
EV-Charging “Transport Turbine” Creates Pipe Dream Buzz

Distance Between Wind Turbines Should Be Doubled, Researchers Say
Wind farms are currently a big hope of the alternative energy industry, but today, just like in the early days of existence, most of them face the issue of being underperforming. Charles Meneveau, a John Hopkins fluid mechanics and turbulence expert, and his colleague Johan Meyers, from Belgium, have devised a wind turbine arrangement that could enhance their efficiency.
Wind Tunnel Concept Converts Wind Energy Generated by Subway Trains into Electricity
Metropolitan cities around the world build more and more underground subway systems in order to minimize the number of vehicles on the roads. The industrial designers also though to help city authorities by redesigning the current systems, making them more efficient.
EarthSure's Wind & Solar Powered Electric Car: Would It Work?
EarthSure, an innovator in alternative energy sources and renewable energy company is planning to develop a zero-emission electric vehicle powered by solar and wind energy. Called AirRay, the new car will be equipped with four wind turbines and a solar roof. All of these to generate necessary electricity to keep the batteries charged up.
New Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Prototype Built for Cities’ Low Speed Winds
A prototype for a brand new design of wind turbine was installed at Keele University Science and Business Park in the UK. The new...
Windmill Torn Apart by Heavy Wind Blow (video)
To support what I've been saying earlier about Flodesign's wind turbine, here's one example of what happens when there's too much wind speed on...
