These floating, vertical-axis wind turbines feature two sets of blades, tuned to contra-rotate – and they promise more than double the output of today's biggest turbines.

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) are nothing like those giant pillars. These are sleek and quieter turbines that generate electricity for your urban and suburban settings.

The world’s most powerful direct-drive floating offshore wind turbine, rated at 17 MW and co-developed by Dongfang Electric ...

A Swedish company called SeaTwirl is developing vertical-axis offshore turbines (and completed a seven-year-long trial of its technology earlier this year), and an American company called T-Omega Wind ...

Norwegian company World Wide Wind's contra-rotating vertical turbine (CRVT) has the potential to be scaled up to enormous proportions and power production.

The generator in a vertical-axis turbine, on the other hand, can be placed anywhere on said vertical axis; in an offshore context, this means it can be at the waterline or below, adding weight where ...

World Wide Wind is a Norwegian startup that has designed a wind turbine with counter-rotating rotors mounted on a vertical axis that tilts with the wind, similar to sailboats.

Swedish floating wind pioneer SeaTwirl has inked a deal with Norwegian yards group Westcon that puts the start-up’s innovative vertical axis design on course for deployment next year in the North Sea.

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 ...

Freen OÜ is transforming urban and rural landscapes with its cutting-edge Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) Our mission is to democratize access to wind energy and make it viable in places where ...

In classic wind turbines, the blades rotate around a horizontal axis, similar to the centuries-old Dutch windmills. TNO is working on a so-called vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT), in which the blades ...
