While studying data from ESA's Solar Orbiter space mission, a research team has discovered a new type of solar wind that challenges our understanding of the acceleration mechanisms of these ...

Due to the unpredictable nature of wind from moment to moment, using it to turn a large grid-tied generator is not as straightforward as it might seem. Let’s take a look at four types of wind ...

Worldwide, wind energy could provide more than 18 times what the world currently uses, according to the International Energy Agency. This type of wind energy is the opposite of the examples above.

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 ...

Wind turbines are traditionally divided into horizontal (HAWT) and vertical (VAWT) types. The difference lies in the direction of the rotation axis in relation to the surface. • Can operate even ...
