Fossil fuel tankers that transport oil, gas and coal across the seas play an important part in the global energy mix, but one Japanese startup is eyeing a future where these types of vessels carry a much cleaner load. PowerX’s Power ARK vessels are des… Continue reading PowerX’s battery-packed ships to fetch energy from off-shore wind farms
Wind turbines are a fantastic, cheap, renewable source of energy. However, nothing lasts forever, and over time, the blades of wind turbines fatigue and must be replaced. This then raises …read more Continue reading Can We Repurpose Old Wind Turbine Blades?
Austrian boat-maker Silent Yachts has rolled out its latest solar electric catamarans, showing off a slightly longer vessel with a newly designed hull that allows greater performance across the water. Helping things along are a dozen more solar panels … Continue reading Silent Yachts adds a kite wing to its solar electric catamaran
By now, many of you have seen the video of [Rick Cavallaro]’s Blackbird, the controversial wind-powered land vehicle that can outrun the wind. The video has led to a high-profile …read more Continue reading $10 000 Physics Wager Settles The Debate On Sailing Downwind Faster Than The Wind
Germany’s Svevind has announced plans for a colossal green hydrogen project that will place some 45 gigawatts of wind and solar energy generation on the vast steppes of Kazakhstan to produce around three million tonnes of green hydrogen annually.

Engineers go to great lengths to maximize the exposure of wind turbines, placing blades atop tall towers on the crests of hills or miles off shore over the wild, unprotected ocean. A new study has thrown up an interesting curve ball that could open up … Continue reading Surprising study shows how wind turbines can work better behind hills
Norway’s Wind Catching Systems (WCS) has made a spectacular debut with a colossal floating wind turbine array it says can generate five times the annual energy of the world’s biggest single turbines – while reducing costs enough to be immediately compe… Continue reading 1,000-foot multi-rotor floating Windcatchers to power 80,000 homes each
If you search the outer reaches of the internet you will find all sorts of web sites and videos purporting to answer to free energy in the form of perpetual …read more Continue reading Sailing Faster Than The Wind Itself
While offshore wind farms continue to play a growing part in the renewable energy mix, particularly in the US which recently approved its first major facility off the coast of Massachusetts, there remains a lot of untapped potential in the winds blowin… Continue reading GE designs massive floating turbine to take wind energy into deep water
Sometimes there’s a satisfaction to be found not in the more complex projects but the simplest ones. We’ve featured wind turbines of all types here at Hackaday over the years, …read more Continue reading The Simplest Wind Turbine Is The Most Satisfying
