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 ...

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 Spanish company is developing a wind turbine that doesn't require blades to generate energy. Unlike typical wind turbines, which use the breeze to spin blades that in turn power a generator, the ...

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 ...
