Uniquely efficient technology for tomorrow’s energy
The sun, the greatest source of available energy, generates approximately 1,08 × 10 18 kWh per annum – about 10,000 times more than the world’s primary energy requirements. Part of this solar energy can be transformed into electrical power with the help of photovoltaics. The economic and ecological advantages of [...]

What is the number one permitting stumbling block for wind energy? Many people think it is the noise but that may be because that is what they are is often asked to address. What has everyone else experienced?

ANCASTER (Ontario), February 23, 2009 – Cleanfield Energy Corp ("Cleanfield") a subsidiary of Cleanfield Alternative Energy Inc. With this installation, Durham College will be showcasing the best and latest renewable energy technologies that are being adopted by industry today and we are proud to showcase our technology to demonstrate how progressive organizations can successfully adopt renewable technologies in the Urban Environment.

Currents can be powerful enough to tip canoes, damage docks and even topple bridges. The force of all that moving water can also provide a clean, affordable and unobtrusive source of renewable energy
Both river and ocean currents can be converted into electricity.
Ocean currents are driven by wind and solar heating of the waters near [...]

This wind turbine, especially designed for use in the built-up environment (developed areas) on the rooftop of high buildings, the Turby, is a revolutionary new concept in the wind-turbine world/industry.
It combines the best qualities of the horizontal wind turbine with the simplicity of the vertical axis wind turbine. A high aerodynamic efficiency, a low sound [...]

Vertical axis wind turbine: A wind generator design where the rotating shaft is perpendicular to the ground, and the cups or blades rotate parallel to the ground.zmotor.com/glossary.html Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT) are a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft runs vertically.

Aerotecture ( http://www.aerotecture.com/) Aerotecture Paradigm: where wind farms are big, we are small where wind farms are rural, we are urban where wind farms avoid buildings, we attach to them where wind farms seek single monster units, we deploy many units where wind farms are hundreds of miles from their ‘users’, we are right there Magenn ( http://www.magenn.com/) -they are working on an all new type of wind turbine, nether HAWT, or VAWT.

I have just decided to do some research on Vertical Axis Wind turbines (aka (VAWT). And of course THE MAGLEV: The Super powered Magnetic Wind Turbine Maglev concept drawing illustrates the large, compact size of the 1 giga-watt Maglev installation in comparison to 1000 commercial wind turbines that would be required to produce the same power output.
