Researchers have used a genetic learning algorithm to identify optimal pitch profiles for the blades of vertical-axis wind turbines, which despite their high energy potential, have until now been ...

Are we stuck in a rut when it comes to wind turbine design? For decades, horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) have dominated the renewable energy landscape, towering over fields and oceans as the ...

Since revealing a concept for an energy generating wall back in 2021, designer Joe Doucet has been working on bringing the idea to life. That time is here with the launch of Airiva, a modular rotary ...

We feature a lot of off-grid power projects here at Hackaday, whether they’re a micropower harvester or something to power a whole house. Somewhere in the middle lies [esposcar90]’s 3D-printed ...

The world’s largest wind turbine is currently Dongfang Electric Corporation’s 26-megawatt offshore machine, installed in ...

In late 2021, designer Joe Doucet unveiled a concept for an extraordinary wind turbine that looked nothing like the typical turbine dotting our landscapes. Instead of a monumental dandelion, it was ...
