Wind power solutions at home
Nov 30th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Featured, Wind PowerWith the world’s ever-increasing demand of power being more than its supply, it is about time that we take concrete steps to save power. Apart from being conscious about the usage of power and water at home, one can employ pollution-free and cost-effective power solutions at our homes. Solar power solutions and wind power solutions are the two of the most efficient solutions that can replace the conventional power solutions employed at our homes.
Breakthrough In Small Wind Technology
Nov 19th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Wind PowerThe main work of wind turbines is to utilize the energy of wind and convert it into electricity; stronger wind is considered good for electricity production. But the speed of wind should not be too strong because it makes turbines spin too fast and in this process it commits suicide! Why is it so? [...]
First Degree Program in Wind Energy
Oct 28th, 2008 | By Alternative Energy | Category: Wind PowerOfficials from Highland Community College (HCC) and EcoEnergy officially broke ground in early October for a facility to house the HCC Wind Turbine Technology Program, the first associates’ degree program of its kind offered in the state of Illinois.
Plan for Biggest Wind Turbines in the UK
Oct 15th, 2008 | By Alternative Energy | Category: Wind PowerWind energy has a formidable place in the field of alternative energy but critics always worry about the preservation of bio-diversity and farm birds. It is always a priority for the wind energy producers to keep in mind the comforts of the human and bird population. When plans were announced that UK will built [...]
Wind Energy From Ocean Surface
Oct 8th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Wind PowerWhen we talk about wind energy, we don’t specifically mention ocean winds. But global satellite maps from NASA promise a new hope. Nearly a decade of data from NASA’s QuikSCAT satellite gives us hope that we can harness ocean’s wind for energy generation. These maps can help in locating and planning the offshore wind [...]
US pioneers use solar and wind micro generation to live off grid
May 27th, 2008 | By ashleys | Category: Micro Generation, News, Off-Grid, Solar Power, Wind PowerReuters have a big report on how US architect Todd Bogatay and his neighbours are using solar and wind micro generation to live “off grid”, and making very little in the way of sacrifices to do it.
“People used to be attracted to living off-grid for largely environmental reasons, although that is now changing as energy [...]
Barratt building with micro-generation built in
May 19th, 2008 | By ashleys | Category: Micro Generation, News, Solar Power, Wind PowerBarratt’s latest development of three towers in London’s docklands is called the Elektron, (corny name or what). Each tower has been fitted with a wind turbine and PV solar panel array. The development also has a low carbon emission communal heating system.
Given that the whole housing market appears to be going south rapidly though [...]
Google to spend big on green fuel
Dec 9th, 2007 | By ashleys | Category: General, Micro Generation, News, Solar Power, Wind PowerThe search engine giant Google has announced that it is going to look at ways to develop cheap and clean sources of energy, and that it would invest hundreds of millions of dollars to do so. Their focus will initially be on solar thermal, wind and geothermal technologies. Larry page co-founder of google stated;
“We have [...]
A true Solar Wind approach!
Aug 20th, 2006 | By ashleys | Category: Micro Generation, Solar Power, Wind PowerNow here is a project that will truly get solar wind working. A new project has begun in the Australian outback to build a huge tower that will capture the sun’s energy in a far more efficient way than conventional solar cells or windmills.
Now we normally separate solar and wind energy into two different things, [...]
