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 ...

Although current climate models brand wind energy as “sustainable energy,” contemporary wind turbine design does not favor wide scale proliferation. Simply put, turbines are extremely noisy, massive, ...

The video "The Genius of Bladeless Vortex Hydropower" explores hydropower as a reliable energy source, addressing intermittency issues faced by other renewables. It highlights the aging infrastructure ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
