Inexpensive Device Harvests Energy From A Light Breeze

October 12, 2022 | Leave a Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Nanyang Technological University scientists have developed a low-cost device that can harness energy from wind as gentle as a light breeze and store it as electricity. When exposed to winds with a velocity as low as two meters per second (m/s), the device can produce a voltage of three volts and generate electricity power […]

More Work On Keeping Wind Energy Useful

December 23, 2020 | Leave a Comment

Researchers have reported to the American Physical Society that as wind energy scales up, researchers better able to study the fluid dynamics challenges. Twenty years ago, wind energy was mostly a niche industry that contributed less than 1% to the total electricity production in the United States. Wind has since emerged as a serious contender […]

Chinese Academy of Sciences researchers have designed a kind of ‘tiny wind turbine’ that can scavenge wind energy from breezes as little as those created by a brisk walk. The method is a low-cost and efficient way of collecting light breezes as a micro-energy source. Most of the wind available on land is too gentle […]

Wind Energy vs Biological Conservation

July 14, 2020 | 1 Comment

Each year, wind turbines are responsible for the death of uncountable hundreds of thousands of airborne animals such as birds and bats. To find a constructive way out of this ”green-green” dilemma, companies building and running wind turbines might have to work together with environmental experts and conservationists. Yet a lack of trust between them […]

Dense Wind Turbine Farms Shown to be Less Efficient

September 2, 2015 | Leave a Comment

University of Kansas scientists report a slowdown effect triggered by wind turbines is substantial for large wind farms and results in proportionally less renewable energy generated for each turbine versus the energy that would be generated from an isolated wind turbine. Renewable wind energy is experiencing a boom, with more wind turbines popping up across […]
