Airloom Energy has designed a wind-turbine system that resembles a roller coaster and could offer some serious advantages.

While most wind turbines generate electricity by converting kinetic energy into mechanical energy of the blades rotating, which in turn generates electrical energy, the Ewicon (which somewhat ...

Using my values, one turn of the wind turbine creates 291 watt-hours (a unit of energy), but a house uses about 48,000 watt-hours. Well, I should add that energy is an approximation for a US house.

As of 2021, more than 67,000 wind turbines operate in the United States, in 44 states, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Wind energy mechanisms generated about 8.4% of the electricity in the U.S. in 2020.

An average wind turbine captures only 30 to 40 per cent of the wind's kinetic energy, while the Saphonian can capture up to 80 per cent, according to Aouini. Hassine Labaied, chief executive of Saphon ...

Traditional wind turbines use the kinetic energy of moving wind to rotate large blades. Using a drive shaft, this rotational energy is then used to power mechanical machinery or, as we’ve seen ...

A failure in the system that controls the blades on a Huron County wind turbine led to “overspeed conditions” and the ultimate collapse of the 396-foot, 485,000-pound structure.

CEO at Freen OU, a small wind turbine manufacturer. We're delivering sustainable energy projects across EU, Middle East, Africa & Asia. I believe that the role of renewable energy has never been ...

The first, full-sized floating offshore wind turbine in the United States will tower 850 feet above the waves in the Gulf of Maine – roughly as tall as New York City’s famed 30 Rockefeller ...

People hoping to become wind turbine technicians can complete a wind energy technology program through a community college or technical school. In a technical program, students take mechanical ...
