World Wide Wind, a Norway-based company, is now developing a new type of floating Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT), as reported by Interesting Engineering. Engineers believe that the VAWT can make a ...

Norway's World Wide Wind has a radically different take on offshore wind power. These floating, vertical-axis wind turbines feature two sets of blades, tuned to contra-rotate – and they promise more ...

The generator resistance can be managed by the microsecond to control the speed of the turbine. Thus, whichever way the wind's blowing, the floating double VAWT passively tilts to an optimal angle, ...

The type of wind turbine you’re used to seeing in stock photos of wind farms is called a horizontal axis wind turbine (or, HAWT). But there is another form of wind power, called a vertical axis wind ...

Swedish innovator SeaTwirl has started work on a 2MW demonstrator project that will use a twin-blade version of its vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) technology in a way that allows a "flat-pack" ...

Trichy: A vertical axis wind turbine which can generate 0.5 kw of electricity has been installed at a community centre in a village near Trichy by the Extension department (Shepherd) of St Joseph's ...
