Could this experimental turbine setup reshape clean tech? Learn how a startup's versatile, low-cost design is solving ...

In 1854 a tinkerer named Daniel Halladay set his sights on advancing the operation of centuries old technology, the windmill. The result would become a staple of farms everywhere throughout the 1900s.

The WindSpider design doesn't, since it builds its own little scaffold around the tower, section by section, and mounts the small crane unit directly to that. This means the system works with any old ...

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 ...

Simulation of wind flows around the model of Austin’s 321 West 6th Street illustrates the E-SE wind direction that resulted in the largest cross-wind response on the 58-story high-rise. The hotter the ...

For the first time, engineers at MIT have developed a comprehensive, physics-based model that accurately represents the airflow around rotors even under extreme conditions. The new model enables the ...
