Stationary systems—such as fixed-bottom tidal turbines—could theoretically operate in low-flow conditions too, but they would ...

Scientists are testing an ocean energy harvesting kite to generate power from waves. Ocean currents are powerful, constant and close to shore—making them an ideal source for renewable energy. Watch as ...

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Minesto invites investors and the public with an interest in technology, energy systems and climate innovations to a unique opportunity to experience ...

Kites are no longer just toys, but pioneering tools to exploit the untapped potential of wind energy. Lightweight, mobile, and ideal for remote or off-grid areas, they require up to 90% less material ...

People have been harnessing tidal energy for milling grain for more than 1,000 years. As you’d imagine though, today’s contraptions for tapping this 24/7 power source are a little more sophisticated.

A giant tidal energy “kite” located in the waters off Vestmannsund, Faroe Islands, has delivered its first power to the grid, in a significant step forward for the budding ocean energy industry.

Looking at a wind turbine from first principles, it’s essentially a set of wings that generate lift in much the same way an airplane wing does. Putting the wings on a rotor and calling them “blades” ...

Any kid who’s ever flown a kite has learned the lesson: Once you can get the kite off the ground and high into the air, you’re more likely to find a steady breeze to keep it aloft. A fledgling wind ...
