Wind turbine

What do you get when you combine distressed offshore wind energy sites, surging AI energy demands, and not-in-my-backyard sentiments towards data centers? One company is combining all three problems into a solution: floating offshore data centers.

What happens when wind turbines reach the end of their lifespan? Often, their blades end up in landfills, but one architect has come up with a clever idea: using the retired rotor blades as a building material.

Thanks to the development of new, lightweight rotors, engineers in Germany have created a small wind turbine that excels at efficiency, even when breezes aren't blowing strongly. The development is a big step toward efficient green home power generation.

German manufacturer SkyWind has just become the first company to receive full certification for its compact wind turbine, the NG. The small but mighty wind spinners are easy to install atop home rooftops to supplement grid power with clean energy.

An exceptionally odd clean energy project backed by Bill Gates has broken ground near Rock River, Wyoming, where a wind turbine that turns convention on its head will get a chance to prove its remarkable claim: wind power at 1/3rd of the cost.

There's an enormous new offshore wind turbine coming up in Denmark courtesy of Siemens Gamesa. But as it turns out, even at 21 MW, it's not nearly big enough to hold a candle to what China's got cooking.

NYC will soon be getting its own personal offshore wind farm. The Empire Wind 1 project has received a $3 billion project financing package and is expected to go online in 2027, powering roughly half a million borough residents. But what's the catch?

China, the undisputed global leader in wind energy, has just set another world record for the tallest and highest capacity offshore wind turbine, taller than the Eiffel Tower, The Chrysler Building, and longer than the longest US aircraft carrier.

To explore how decommissioned wind turbines can be repurposed, energy company Vattenfall is building a tiny house in a nacelle. It's as adorable as you'd expect, and comes with a host of amenities in a cozy space you'd be happy to call home.

China's Sany Renewable Energy claims it has just erected the world's largest onshore wind turbine. The 15-MW prototype features 430-ft-long blades, making for a maximum swept area of 616,298 sq ft. That's equivalent to nearly 11 football fields.

Even though we head into nature to get away from it all, we usually haul along our mobile gadgetry. Such things need power of course, which might not be easy to find in the middle of nowhere. That's where the Shine 2.0 comes in.

Aeromine has installed a silent and motionless wind energy harnessing system 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, while taking up a lot less space.
