The power supply for sailboats can be ensured by a wind turbine on the mast. The Grain Blanc is also suitable for buildings.

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 ...

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 ...

The remote Alaskan village of Igiugig—home to about 50 people—will be the first to demonstrate a new approach to wind power that could boost power output and, its inventors say, just might make it ...

If you’ve got a property with some outdoor space and plenty of wind, you might consider throwing up a windmill to generate some electricity. Indeed, [The Broject List] did just that. Only, his ...
