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 ...

EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) researchers have used a genetic learning algorithm to identify optimal pitch profiles for the blades of vertical-axis wind turbines.

But a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) is aligned with blades that rotate perpendicular to the ground (or ocean) and look more like tree branches. Both types of turbines have been around for a while.

The company's portfolio includes the 3kW Freen-3 turbine, the 20kW Freen-20 turbine and the 55kW Freen-55 turbine. To learn more about small wind turbines and VAWT technology, visit the knowledgebase.

If you are using a wind turbine as a backup power source to charge a whole house battery or to supplement another power source like solar panels, you can find a small, 1.5 kilowatt, vertical axis ...

Wind turbines are traditionally divided into horizontal (HAWT) and vertical (VAWT) types. The difference lies in the direction of the rotation axis in relation to the surface. Vertical-Axis Wind ...

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 ...

The prototype had around 16 430-watt solar panels attached to 8.4-meter (27.5-foot) wind turbine blades. Advertisement - scroll for more content The Alpine pilot confirmed that Blade2Sun is ...

If you imagine an industrial wind turbine, you likely picture the windmill design, technically known as a horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT). But the very first wind turbines, which were ...
