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 ...

Home appliance maker Balmuda Inc. is developing a wind power generator combined with solar panels that is small enough to install on the yard or rooftop of an individual home. “We hope to contribute ...

From community solar farms to co-owned wind turbines, eco-inventors are coming up with new ways to bring renewable power into our homes. Now, micro wind turbines designed to look like trees are ...

A handful of start-ups are making mini turbines that go on top of city buildings and turn wind power into electricity. Photos: Harnessing wind Martin LaMonica is a senior writer covering green tech ...

A handful of start-ups are floating an idea that could change the face of the wind power industry. Rather than build farms of towering wind turbines in rural areas, some companies are designing "micro ...

The integrated bus terminus (IBT), coming up at Panjapur on the Tiruchi-Madurai Highway, will have a wind tree, a micro wind turbine designed to mimic trees, generating electricity. Unlike the ...

For times when a portable battery pack and solar charger won’t do, the power of the wind could be the way to charge your smartphone. École Cantonale d’Art Lausanne design student Nils Ferber has ...

When it comes to harvesting energy from air currents, the big wind turbines usually get all the attention. For example, in 2023, the world's largest wind turbine, with a 260-meter (853-ft) diameter ...

THE way a dragonfly remains stable in flight is being mimicked to develop micro wind turbines that can withstand gale-force winds. Micro wind turbines have to work well in light winds but must avoid ...
