Research carried out by Oxford Brookes University has found that vertical turbine designs could make large wind farms more effective. In the study, the researchers compared traditional wind turbines ...

The now-familiar sight of traditional propeller wind turbines could be replaced in the future with wind farms containing more compact and efficient vertical turbines. New research has found that the ...

The number of designs for vertical wind-power turbines is growing because they’re efficient, small, and cheaper to build than regular windmills. Sound familiar? One of the companies that seem to be ...

Discover how to create a compact vertical-axis wind turbine with everyday materials in this detailed step-by-step guide. Watch as we build composite turbine blades, assemble a helical rotor, and ...

A prototype wind turbine is about to be installed just south of Adelaide. At a mere 6kW, it’s not going to make any difference to our energy grid – yet. But its shape means that it could end up making ...

We’ve all got a pretty good mental image of the traditional wind-powered generator: essentially a big propeller on a stick. Some might also be familiar with vertical wind turbines, which can operate ...

The following is an extract from our Fix the Planet newsletter, a weekly email about solutions to the climate crisis. In the UK, onshore wind has been stuck in a bit of a time warp. In England, only a ...
