Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are a relatively new kind of energy producing system that's suitable for home and urban ...

The modern turbine has blades that keep turning even if there's not that much wind. That's because they're perfectly shaped to capture the wind's kinetic energy. The blades spin a shaft ...

The blades of a turbine, usually three, capture the wind's energy and rotate, spinning a shaft connected to a generator. This process is efficient and environmentally friendly, but it also ...

As the world has moved towards sustainable energy sources over the last few years, it’s increasingly common to be close to a wind turbine. The huge turbines visible on the horizon from where ...

there are a few new tools available to help create the most efficient wind turbine possible, provided you have a 3D printer. [Jan] created this turbine with the help of QBlade, a piece of software ...
