Failed - Mini Wind Turbine: I love building small wind turbines for educational and experimental purposes. Some of them work and some just don't. I learn from both those work and from those don't work. So I actually make use of all of them. In this instructable I'll show you a…
The failure of "rooftop" wind energy's most trumpeted start-up underscores the technology's challenges, but believers insist vertical turbines have their place.

Nearly 120 wind turbines catch fire each year, according to a research - more ten times the number reported by the wind industry in general.
How ironic it is that a wholly weather dependent power source has such a bitterly hard time coping with the … ahem … weather. When Hurricane Maria visited Puerto Rico in September 2017,…

A wind turbine says it will build more turbines in Ireland, but doesn’t mention the 14,000 turbines idle worldwide, lacking profitability or viability. By Bob Adelmann

Messing up is a normal part of life. Whether it’s in our work environment or our relationships, every single one of us makes mistakes at some point. Living with our errors, however, can be difficult as even the most minor ones tend to damage our pride, cause embarrassment, and leave us with an overwhelming rush of panic. But if you think accidentally smashing a vase or spilling coffee all over your work is bad enough, today’s list may make you feel incredibly validated.
The wind industry and those that promote it look more ridiculous, by the day. An entirely weather dependent power source, abandoned a couple of centuries back for pretty obvious reasons, exhibits a…
The company that owns the defunct Kamaoa Wind Farm at South Point on Hawaii island is in the final stages of removing the 37 derelict wind turbines that have been sitting idle for the past six years.
The manufacturers of turbines and solar panels are dropping like flies, as subsidies are rolled back across Europe. So-called ‘green’ jobs are a case of easy come, easy go. The wind and solar ‘indu…
Opinions on the number of birds killed by wind turbines vary wildly. We at American Bird Conservancy (ABC) look at the facts to provide a current estimate.

Companies are searching for ways to deal with the tens of thousands of blades that have reached the end of their lives.
Wind turbines produced just 10 per cent of their energy capacity during almost a fortnight of the last three months, it was claimed yesterday.
America’s first offshore wind turbines, off the coast of Rhode Island, are a good testing ground to study the controversial aspects of offshore wind farms, such as their vulnerability to hurricanes, and their impacts on local fishing.
The rush to an all wind and sun powered future has left Germans sensing the kind of regret that comes with youthful exuberance – something about acting in haste and repenting at leisure sprin…
The objective of the current review is to present the development of a large vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) since its naissance to its current applications. The turbines are critically reviewed in terms of performance, blade configuration, tower design, and mode of failure. The early VAWTs mostly failed due to metal fatigue since the composites were not developed. Revisiting those configurations could yield insight into the future development of VAWT. The challenges faced by horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT), especially in the megawatt capacity, renewed interest in large scale VAWT. VAWT provides a solution for some of the immediate challenges faced by HAWT in the offshore environment in terms of reliability, maintenance, and cost. The current rate of research and development on VAWT could lead to potential and economical alternatives for HAWT. The current summary on VAWT is envisioned to be an information hub about the growth of the Darrieus turbine from the kW capacity to megawatt scale.
