Tidal power - A different perspective

Kepler Energy is taking a different approach to tidal power, applying a design that can be used in benign sea conditions in a location closer to end-demand and which could generate utility-scale quantities of power, as Peter Dixon explains.The physical environment of tidal turbines is clearly very different to that of wind turbines, not least because water is a lot denser than air! However, ...

The difference between a lift and drag wind turbine explained

Did you know there are two different types of wind turbines? The two types can easily be distinguished from one another. We’ll try to explain the fundamental differences between air ...

Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

EOLYS designed its wind turbines around an horizontal axis. This technique - inherited from the ancient windmills and from aeronautics - uses wind lift strength. A wind turbine allows to convert the wind energy into mechanical energy, itself being converted into electricity by a generator. Numerous stages are necessary for this conversion. For its range of Metronome, EOLYS has chosen to use ...
