Seeing that regular wind turbines produce electricity at a rate of about 20 to 25%, Magenn Power thought of an air-floating wind turbine that would revolutionize the way these energy machines are made.

The Dutch never stopped their work on wind turbines, and that’s because Holland is a very windy country. Wind energy will probably be harnessed as well from Tromp Binnen offshore wind farm whose plans have been submitted by RWE to the Dutch Public Works and Water Management Authority. The plans will first be assessed for [...]

I have an article showing a video of a wind turbine torn apart by heavy winds. In fact, if you research more, you’ll find out that this is the reason the wind turbines are placed in pristine fields, with no houses close to them and each turbine has to have a safety distance from the [...]

People found various ways to harvest the energy that nature provides. But why not combine these to obtain a larger output of power?
This theory is going to be put into practice this year, by attaching a machine such as the Ocean Treader to an Offshore Wind Turbine, to create a full size prototype named the [...]

Today I found another DIY project for generating alternative energy, by using the wind. It is a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT), and it works by the same principle those huge wind turbines do, but they are much more easy and less expensive to build.

In this consumerism ruled times, the world needs to know ways to do stuff. When electricity generation is predicted to become more expensive (it’s like they predict an invasion of electric vehicles), people need to build their own power generating systems for their independence.Faroun, a user from Instructables.com, has submitted a simple video showing how [...]

Appearing for all the world like a habitable version of Chicago’s Cloud Gate, Lovegrove Studios‘ futuristic Alpine Capsule is designed to blend in with nature, reflecting and complementing its immediate environment. Powered by solar panels and a vertical axis wind turbine, the off-grid alpine retreat features a shimmering glass skin with a reflective coating that [...]
