High Winds, Boston High-Rises, and Eastern Wind Power Vertical-Axis Turbines
Chicago’s the “Windy City,” but EWP’s betting that, sited atop Boston high-rises, its vertical-axis wind turbines can make a sizable dent in buildings’ energy costs. […]

Say what? As you can see above, that’s a lamp. It was printing using 3D printing. And its design makes it produce electricity for its LEDs when it spins in the breeze. Nice? I thought so, too. The lamp was created by Margot Krasojevic. Here are more details from Archello: … [continued]
Some more top cleantech news from the past day or so. Solar 1. We’ve written about the large solar boat known as Planetsolar many times in the past. Our good old friend Tim Hurst of Live Oak Media delved into the boats features in good depth in a recent … [continued]
SeaTwirl has created a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) that is both direct-drive and stores energy using seawater. It also uses water as a bearing, which has the advantage of low friction. The generator is of the permanent magnet type. This means that it partially utilizes magnets (magnetic materials … [continued]
A company introduced a customizable VAWT called the WindSail.
OK, one more roundup post here — following up on my roundups of 10 new cleantech projects, 10 new cleantech consumer products, and 7 green jobs stories roundups, this one is on 10 new cleantech technologies in the works or just out. Zep Solar recently released an innovative mounting system for … [continued]
Wind energy is growing in use across the U.S., both small and large wind turbines are getting installed at record rates. And the trend is similar across the world. A new report by Transparency Market Research, “Global Wind Energy & Wind Turbine Market (2011 – 2016),” finds that there’s been a Compound Average Growth … [continued]
I’ve written about Sauer Energy a number of times over the years. About a year ago, the company released a new vertical-axis wind turbine with a unique design to improve the efficiency of this small-scale, clean power option.
With energy prices continually rising (causing not only people’s transportation and electricity bills to rise, but also the price of food and goods), more and more people are turning to clean energy options like this that use free fuel.
It’s just common sense.
Palo Alto startup D.C. Revolutions is looking for crowdfunding on Indie Gogo for its vertical-axis wind turbine concept.
Wind power research at a CalTech wind farm has yielded a 10x boost to power efficiency by using vertical axis wind turbines arranged so as to mimic schooling fish.
