The Sustainer: Solution to Produce Electricity and Fuel in Remote Rural Areas
The Solarix company found a new solution to produce electricity and fuel in remote rural areas.
Wind-It: Electrical Towers Transformed into Wind Turbines
This project aims to adapt the current infrastructure of electrical high voltage towers into electricity generating towers. Because they are so tall and well grounded, electrical towers are best for supporting wind turbines (of course, adapted to the towers' shape).
WindCube: 60kW Small, Stackable Wind Turbines
The device below is known as WindCube, and is developed by Green Energy Technologies. It incorporates a fan and a wind concentrator system, which directs the wind at a higher speed though the fan, producing eight times more electricity than if it wasn't used.
Wind Energizer: 150% Power Boost by Simple Wind Turbine Addon
Until now, in order to make more powerful wind turbines, you had to make longer blades, so they could capture more incoming air and transform it into mechanical work. Leviathan Energy, led by dr. Daniel Farb, has refreshed this approach towards increased efficiency not by increasing the blades, but by making the wind hit them differently.
Japanese Innovation Makes Wind Turbines Storm-Proof
I have an article showing a video of a wind turbine torn apart by heavy winds. In fact, if you research more, you'll find out that this is the reason the wind turbines are placed in pristine fields, with no houses close to them and each turbine has to have a safety distance from the others. In case of a storm, if one falls down... you get the picture.
$300 Solarstar Uses the Sun's Heat to Cool Your Home
For all those of you living in a house, with roof and fence, the problem of cooling your residence in the summer is pretty pressing. SolarStar has thought at this niche and built a standalone cooling system, based on the Universe-aged principle of cooling by evaporation of water, getting the hot air out, and putting the colder one in.
Wave Treader: Joining Wind and Wave Power
By combining wind and wave power, the energy output can be drastically increased. The Wave Treader that enables the mix-up will probably be available on the market by 2011.
US Awarded First Place in Wind Energy Production
The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) awarded the United States of America with the first position in wind energy production. US has a huge lead compared to other countries as last year they increasedtheir wind energy capacity by half. US windmills can generate up to 25GW of energy - about a fifth of global wind power.
Largest Offshore Wind Farm Planned in Netherlands
Largest Offshore Wind Farm is Planned to be build in Netherlands. The wind farm will be made from 59 wind turbines and will have an approximately capacity of 300 MW.
Very Efficient Vertical Wind Turbine Once Thought Impossible to Build
As wind industry claimed that vertical turbines are ineffective, inventor Adam Fuller developed a project to prove this theory wrong.
