Across the world, wind power is growing fast—but not fast enough. To meet climate goals and reach carbon neutrality, the United Nations says global wind energy must triple in the next ten years.

Wind power has always been a trade off between clean energy and the visual, acoustic, and ecological cost of giant spinning blades. A new generation of radical designs promises something different, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Bundle up, Bloomington, a winter storm is headed our way; do you know how to decipher winter weather forecasts? While just about ...

This summary examines the evolving field of energy harvesting from wind and vortex-induced vibrations (VIV), a branch of research that transforms ambient aerodynamic forces into usable electrical ...

As the demand for sustainable energy solutions grows, so does the need for innovation in the renewable energy sector. The latest breakthrough? The bladeless wind turbine. Designed by the Spanish ...

NEW YORK − Dangerous, freezing wind chills are expected over the weekend in the Northeast — so extreme that frostbite could occur within minutes for people outdoors in some locations. The National ...

(AGL), winds are stronger and much, much more consistent than they are at surface. Even if the Earth were a perfect sphere, there’d be a sluggish boundry layer at ...

Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... a 20,000 cubic-meter power-generating airship, floating 6,560 ft (2,000 meters) above the ground. Introducing the S2000 stratospheric airborne ...

In fact, the turbines were able to reach an efficiency of 53%, which is just shy of Betz's Law, a theorem that says no wind turbine would be able to convert more than about 59.3% of wind energy into ...

We finally have a blast of truly Arctic cold air heading toward Michigan. The actual cold, combined with stiff wind gusts early next week, will produce dangerously cold wind chills. Here is the ...
