A Spanish company built a bladeless wind turbine that sways instead of spinning, turning the vibrations caused by wind into electricity

A Spanish company has developed bladeless wind turbines that oscillate to generate electricity. These devices use vortex-induced vibrations, a phenomenon engineers usually avoid. The bladeless design offers a lighter, quieter, and mechanically simpler alternative to traditional turbines. While currently less powerful, they are suited for small-scale and remote energy needs.…

One of the world’s first canal-top solar projects placed a 750-meter solar array above an Indian irrigation canal, generating clean power while saving an estimated 9 million liters of water each year

Gujarat pioneered canal-top solar power over a decade ago, utilizing existing irrigation canals. This innovative approach generates renewable energy while simultaneously conserving precious water resources. The solar panels shade the water, significantly reducing evaporation losses in arid regions. While more complex to build, this method saves valuable agricultural land from…

Japan's newspaper-printed solar cells could turn almost any surface into a power generator

For decades, solar power has largely meant one thing: rigid silicon panels fixed to rooftops or spread across vast solar farms. Japan is pursuing a very different idea. Instead of heavy glass modules, researchers and manufacturers are developing ultra-thin, flexible solar cells that can be produced using high-speed printing techniques…
