Vortex Bladeless, a startup based in Ávila, northwest of Madrid, has designed an upright cylindrical wind energy harvester that works by oscillating rather than using a rotating blade.

If you answered "a wooden wind turbine", you could be a visionary ... the diameter of the cylindrical steel towers to support them has had to grow too. In a world of road tunnels, bridges and ...

The beauty of his design is that the 20-meter-tall windmill rotates each cylindrical part with electricity. Then the entire turbine rotates when wind gathers strength. “Wind farms have not taken ...

Researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas have developed a sensor inspired by the whiskers of seals for the safety of ...

Dr. Yaqing Jin's research on seal whisker-inspired sensors enhances offshore wind energy safety by detecting turbulence and ...

The turbines at the Kincardine wind farm must stand tall in the heaviest ... Each tower sits atop three huge cylindrical floats. They are painted bright yellow and welded into a triangular ...

Some might also be familiar with vertical wind turbines, which can operate no matter which way the wind is blowing. In either case, they use some form of rotating structure to harness the wind’s ...
