While large wind turbines remain the dominant force in wind power, wider adoption may lie with small-scale turbines fit for urban and low wind conditions.

One of the big NIMBY complaints about wind turbines is the constant blinking lights that make them visible to aircraft. A new sensor system would eliminate the nuisance, lighting the turbines only when planes are approaching.

Fairbanks, Alaska, will be home to the demonstration project of the next generation Buoyant Airborne Turbine, which will fly 1000 feet off the ground.

Inspired by bird wings, this unique wind generator is claimed to efficiently harvest energy, even from low wind conditions.

Who says you can't take it with you? This micro wind turbine folds into a foot-long cylinder for a portable solution to charging gadgets with clean renewable energy.

If you're interested in learning how to build your own renewable energy devices, this DIY vertical axis wind turbine is a great place to start.

The WindPax wind generator fits neatly into a backpack for hiking or can be used in the backyard too.

The Nautilus shell-shaped turbines could fit on rooftops of houses or buildings in urban environments.

The turbines leave no room for the eye-sore excuse.

A recycling center’s turbine could pave the way for industrial-scale wind power in New York City.

At the risk of getting slammed with comments claiming that small wind turbines aren't viable, here's a look at another bladeless wind generator hoping to disrupt the wind energy industry.

The SolarMill, a 1.2 kW combination wind and solar energy system, will be sold in the U.S. for about $3000.

Scientists are working to harness the secret of owls' silent flights to build quieter wind power technology.

All those cat pictures and viral videos won't harm the Earth.

A new study says that placing turbines under these high, already-built structures could be an easy way to incorporate wind energy in areas around the world.

When wind speeds are higher than a turbine can effectively use, the extra energy is stored for when the wind slows.

Four sizes of micro-turbines, designed to be portable personal wind energy stations, are in the works from Janulus.

That's two and a half times longer than any existing wind turbine blade and that's not all that makes it unique.

Lightweight, collapsible, and quick to deploy, this little wind generator might be a viable off-grid portable power source in places where solar isn't appropriate.

At 100 meters in diameter, wind turbines really are getting monstrously large. So what do they look like close up?

No turbine blades in sight.

Even in the wild world of offbeat wind energy machines, Tyer Wind's design stands out.

The world's most powerful wind turbine to date backs up its massive size with serious power output.

One of America's fastest growing professions, wind turbine technician, attracts people with a unique set of skills, as demonstrated by climber and composer Jessica Kilroy.

The resin reduces the energy needed to manufacture turbine blades and allows them to be recycled.

The powerful 12-MW turbine is being developed and tested now.

There is either a giant contradiction here in Ontario's Prince Edward County or I am missing something.

It can help you find water refills anywhere.

You thought 'text neck' was bad? Kids these days are growing 'enlarged external occipital protuberances,' according to researchers.

Too bad we can't buy it in North America.

They are bigger! More powerful! Easier to install! And there is a huge market for this right now.
