Looking somewhat like a giant reed gently swaying in the wind, the new Vortexbladeless wind-driven generator prototype produces electricity with very few moving parts, on avery small footprint, and in ...
A device to harvest energy from the St. Clair River — first tested in Port Huron in August 2010 — could be returning to the blue water. Vortex Hydro Energy is about six months into a three-year ...
When asked as "wind power generator", many people remind me of windmill wing type rotors with huge feathers as large as several tens of meters in diameter, and indeed many windmills are used in ...
A bane of Big Oil’s offshore rigs could become a boon for renewable energy. By tapping the natural motion of slow-moving water, a new hydrokinetic generator could open vast new swaths of the ocean for ...
A hydroelectric generator produces electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of running water. Now you can not only find stationary larger-scale hydroelectric generators but also portable micro ...
A Spanish company is developing a wind turbine that doesn't require blades to generate energy. Unlike typical wind turbines, which use the breeze to spin blades that in turn power a generator, the ...
These surprisingly powerful devices can turn the power of running water into current. By Stan Horaczek Updated Apr 9, 2024 10:35 PM EDT We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and ...
The theory behind hydropower is very simple: water obeys gravity and imparts the gained kinetic energy onto a turbine, which subsequently drives a generator. The devil here is, of course, in all the ...
The concept of building your own hydroelectric generator seems simple at face value: use gravity to impart as much force as possible onto a turbine, which spins a generator, thus generating ...
