Search results for wind energy
Apart from being more dependable than solar energy, wind energy has always been a secondary choice for all eco-minded home owners. Reasons include bird kills, noise and the decrease in the output when wind changes direction. A concept wind turbine designed by Industrie-SA can answer all these problems with a clever design.

Eco Factor: Renewable energy generating bicycle design.
Bikes are the greenest way to commute from one place to another. Being zero-emission and a healthy way to commute won’t be the only characteristics of biking in the future, when designers like Ben Lai are there to get more from the innocent two-wheelers. Ben is the designer of the most futuristic and green bike that we’ve seen s

Eco Factor: Electric car recharging station generates electricity from renewable sources.
Electric cars of the future will need to be quick both in speed and in the time they need to get recharged. Current technology allows a car to be recharged within a couple of hours. This, though quick for an electric car, is sluggish when compared to gasoline cars.

Eco Factor: Sustainable resort to be developed in California.
Over 60 years of mining destroyed about 29 acres of land in Monterey, California. The barren sand dune is all set to be converted into the greenest resort in the world. Known as Monterey Bay Shores, the resort will carry 5 acres of living roofs and will provide 6.5 acres of natural habitat for endangered species.

Eco Factor: Highly-efficient wind turbine design.
FloDesign Wind Turbine has developed a new turbine design that could generate electricity at half the cost of conventional wind turbine. The design has been inspired from jet engines and avoids the wind losses associated with wind turbines. Normally, when wind strikes a turbine, about half of the wind is forced around the blades and t

Eco Factor: Wind turbine design for places where windmills are not efficient.
A conventional windmill proves to be efficient in open places and farms where there is no obstruction to slow down the velocity of wind. Such windmills don’t prove to be an effective source of renewable energy in busy and dense urban cities. A professor at the Cleveland State University, Dr. Majid Rashidi
