SeaTwirl floating wind turbines assemble via flat-pack shipping to simplify deep-water installation and bypass the need for ...

Wind energy is recognized as an essential part of the shift to sustainable energy shift. However, its involvement in distributed energy generation is limited by the tendency to build turbines for ...

Norway's World Wide Wind has a radically different take on offshore wind power. These floating, vertical-axis wind turbines feature two sets of blades, tuned to contra-rotate – and they promise more ...

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 ...

A new manufacturing technique developed by Concordia researchers could make small wind turbines lighter, less expensive and easier to produce. Using a process known as 4D printing of composites, Ph.D.

Vertical Wind Turbine: Electricity bills tend to rise along with the temperature. If you are troubled by soaring electricity costs, installing a vertical wind turbine on your roof could significantly ...

Using 4D printing of composites, PhD candidate Emad Fakhimi and Suong Van Hoa, a professor at the Concordia Centre for Composites, created curved blades for vertical‑axis wind turbines from flat ...

Researchers at Concordia University have developed a new way to make small wind turbines, ...

Researchers at Concordia University have developed a new manufacturing method that could make small wind turbines lighter, cheaper, and more efficient. Their new approach uses a technology called 4D ...
