Q&A: Is it true that wind turbines can never produce enough energy in their lifespans to offset its creation?
Question by Patrick: Is it true that wind turbines can never produce enough energy in their lifespans to offset its creation? I’ve heard on several occasions that wind turbines are not economically feasible because it takes an inordinate amount of time and money, such that it will never produce enough energy to recoup that which […]

Ion Wind Lifter
No, it’s not “anti-gravity”…or “electrogravitics” (wtf does that even mean)…. To even say it’s anything else than Ion wind you should at least have BS in Physics so that you’re credible…(oh wait…I HAVE BS IN PHYSICS)…..IT”S FUCKING ION WIND..calm down
Wind Could Drive 20% of World Power Needs By 2030, With China in Lead
Wind Could Drive 20% of World Power Needs By 2030, With China in Lead Despite earlier setbacks, wind power may have reached a tipping point. This morning we learned that Google (of all companies) is investing up to 0 million in infrastructure to support a massive wind farm 10 miles off the East Coast that […]
Ecotricity – Bristol Port – Wind Turbine Construction Video
Just launched! Watch our stunning new time-lapse video of the construction of 3 wind turbines at Bristol Port. The turbines will produce over 15 million units of new green electricity annually, enough to save around 13000 tonnes of carbon emissions every year for the next 30 years! www.ecotricity.co.uk Ken Morgan, the founder of Helix Wind […]

New Wind Turbine Design Good for Rural, Urban Environment
Wind power is one of the fastest growing forms of alternative energy in the world. More and more, wind power mills are seen in the countryside, in large wind farms and for the most part, away from city life. But a new form of wind power is now designed to work in an urban environment. […]
Part 3 of 6. The aeromechanics of wind powered vehicles using rotors for energy conversion.
Theory and basic mechanisms that make wind turbine powered vehicles going directly upwind work are explained by Mac Gaunaa. Furthermore, it is shown that the same theory explain how and why DDFTTW (Directly downwind faster than the wind) work. This is part 3 of 6. The total length of the combined presentation (all six parts) […]

Is it about time to pull the plug on windpower? Can taxpayers afford another ethanol boondoggle?
“According to a recent report by the National Renewable Technology Laboratory (DOE), wind energy could account for 20 percent of the nation’s electricity by 2030. To reach this target, wind turbines would have to produce 300,000 MW of power or 1,000,000 MW installed capacity. The 500,000 plus wind turbines would cost the taxpayers between $5-7 […]
How do you connect wind turbine driven asynchronous motors to the grid?
I am looking to connect generic asynchronous motors (from washing machines, vacuum pumps, etc.) to vertical axis wind turbines. I need to know how to wire it so that I can sync these squirrel-cage induction machines to the electric grid by allowing me to plug them into an ordinary electric outlet in my home, 20-50 […]
Why hasn’t some organisation offered payment for a contest to make the most effecient vertical wind turbine?
If vertical wind turbines could be made thin enough and effecient enough, they could be placed on house rooftops and be very discrete (maybe only about 12 inch tall and 12 feet diameter). A top plate could conceal the spinnig blades. The contest could require that the turbines have a max area, max height, and […]
