If their simulations and theories are true, however, it could result in some crazy machines. According to its inventors, this design can reach up to 1,312 feet in height to achieve up to 40 megawatts.

Traditional wind turbines are optimized for wind speeds of about 33 feet per second. In contrast, the Birmingham Blade is designed for the lower average wind speeds typical of urban areas like ...

Employing dual oscillating blades that mimic the figure-8 motion of the wings of a hovering hummingbird, the turbine's relatively compact design make it a potential fit for residential use.

Airloom Energy has designed a wind-turbine system that resembles a roller coaster and could offer some serious advantages.
