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.

Engineers from the University of Glasgow have revealed a new design for bladeless wind turbines that has the potential to optimize efficiency. Published in the Renewable Energy journal, the study used ...

The Tesla turbine is a bladeless centripetal-flow turbine invented by Nikola Tesla in 1913, using the boundary-layer effect rather than having a stream of gases or a fluid impinge on blades. Recently ...

A century after Nikola Tesla sketched a turbine with no blades, researchers are now using that same counterintuitive design to pull useful power out of static electricity. The latest experiments pair ...

An industrial policy of subsidies and import restrictions laid the foundations for China to become almost as dominant in wind turbines as in solar panels. An industrial policy of subsidies and import ...
