Demystifying Turbines: Powering Our World, One Spin at a Time Turbines, those enigmatic machines humming away in power plants and jet engines, might seem like complex marvels of engineering. But their core principle is surprisingly simple: harnessing the power of moving fluids to spin and generate energy. From the colossal hydroelectric giants to the miniaturized…

There is abundant wind power around us but have you ever thought, how these magnificent structures – the wind turbines work? If you have ever flown a kite or sailed a boat, you already know how strong the wind is. Harnessing wind power is an ancient concept- Windmills and wind turbines have been used to…

We know that there is enough wind globally to satisfy much, or even most, of humanity’s energy requirements – if it could be harvested effectively and on a large enough scale. Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs), which may be as efficient as current horizontal axis systems, might be , simpler and significantly cheaper to build and maintain…

What is Wind? Wind is  simply  air  in  motion.  It  is  caused  by  the  uneven  heating  of  the  earth’s  surface  by  radiant  energy  from  the  sun.  Since  the  earth’s  surface  is  made  of  very  different  types  of  land  and  water,  it  absorbs  the  sun’s  energy  at  different  rates.  Water  usually  does  not  heat  or  cool as quickly…
