Discover how to create a compact vertical-axis wind turbine with everyday materials in this detailed step-by-step guide. Watch as we build composite turbine blades, assemble a helical rotor, and ...

The global electric motor market is projected to reach $373.9 billion by 2032, driven by regulatory pressure from governments to meet energy efficiency standards, which are forcing industries to ...

How can open ocean currents generate energy? Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines ...

In a controversial experiment, a team of physicists investigated whether we could harness the Earth’s rotational energy to generate electricity. It’s a deceptively simple idea that researchers have ...

Instead of absorbing energy from the sun to produce electricity, a new class of devices generates power by absorbing heat from its surroundings instead and beaming it at outer space. Such devices, ...

Harness the energy of the cosmos! Learn how UC Davis engineers are using a modified Stirling engine and radiative cooling to generate passive, low-power electricity from the clear night sky.
