Wind energy is taking off all over again. This time, literally. In China, a multi-institute research and development project has created a series of large-scale floating turbine prototypes. The helium ...

If you have ever seen a wind turbine in action, or simply being transported, you have an idea as to how massive they are. But have you ever wondered how big these things get in terms of sheer numbers?

University of Glasgow researchers are working to unlock the potential of bladeless wind power. For the first time, computer simulations of bladeless wind turbines (BWTs) have pinpointed the most ...

Dutch startup Equinox Ocean Turbines has secured new funding to accelerate the development of its innovative jet-sized underwater wind turbine, which will be entirely powered by ocean currents. The ...

Wind energy infrastructure doesn’t produce power if the air isn’t moving, and solar doesn’t generate power if the sun’s not out. But that doesn’t mean that either source of energy is "worthless" ...

Engineers from the University of Glasgow have revealed a new design for bladeless wind turbines that has the potential to optimize efficiency. Published in the Renewable Energy journal, the study used ...
