While the Netherlands is the country most known for its windmills, they were originally invented by the Persians. More surprisingly, some of them are still turning after 1,000 years. The …read more Continue reading Help Wanted: Keep the World’s Oldest Windmills Turning
China, the undisputed global leader in wind energy, has just set another world record for the world’s tallest and highest-capacity offshore wind turbine, taller than the Eiffel Tower, The Chrysler Building, and longer than the longest US aircraft carri… Continue reading Planet’s largest wind turbine record broken again at 26-MW
You probably knew that wind turbines can be absolutely massive. But did you know the ‘nacelle,’ which sits at the top of the turbine and houses components like the generator and gearbox, is large enough to live in?Continue ReadingCategory: Tiny Houses,… Continue reading Wind turbine gets amazing second life as 376-sq-ft tiny house
China’s Sany Renewable Energy claims it has just erected the world’s largest onshore wind turbine. The 15MW prototype was installed earlier this week in northeast China’s Jilin Province.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, TechnologyTags: Wind turbine, Wi… Continue reading World’s largest onshore wind turbine spins up 430 ft blades to deliver 15 MW
Even though we head into nature to get away from it all, we usually haul along our mobile gadgetry. Phones, laptops and handheld consoles all need power of course, which might not be easy to find in the middle of nowhere. That’s where the Shine 2.0 com… Continue reading Portable wind turbine fast-charges a smartphone in under 20 minutes
Trees and forests are an incredibly important natural resource not only for lumber and agricultural products, but also maintain a huge amount of biodiversity in the various types of forests …read more Continue reading Trees Turned Into Wind Turbines, Non-Destructively
Houston-based Aeromine Technologies has fitted a bunch of silent and motionless wind energy harnessing airfoils on the roof of BMW’s MINI manufacturing plant in Oxford, UK. They’re meant to complement the factory’s solar panels to produce clean energy,… Continue reading Motionless turbines deliver super-efficient wind energy to BMW’s factory
The WindFloat Atlantic project – the world’s first semi-submersible floating offshore wind farm, located off the coast of Portugal with only three turbines – has exceeded expectations over the last four years of operation, generating a total of 320 GWh… Continue reading Better than expected: World’s first semi-submersible floating wind farm
Mingyang Smart Energy said last week that it’s installed “the world’s largest single-capacity offshore wind turbine” in a project in Hainan, China. The turbine delivers a power output of up to 20 MW, besting its previous 18 MW model from 2023.
