Old wind turbines are piling up. Here’s how to revive them.
15:04 | Tens of thousands of old wind turbines are set to retire globally every year – and many of them are bound to get scrapped. But some companies are trying to save them.
The race to build the perfect wind turbine
11:16 | Wind has been outpaced by solar as the frontrunner of renewable energy. But according to some studies, recent innovations could unlock up to 80% more wind energy potential in the US alone.
FINALLY! Fully recyclable wind turbine blades!
11:34 | A team at the US NREL claims to have used plant-based biomass to create turbine blades that can be completely broke down at the end of their operational lifetime and refabricated into new products.
Wind power’s unsolved problem
10:46 | Wind turbines are playing a big part in cleaning up our energy system. But the blades are close to impossible to recycle and largely end up in landfills. There are more and more companies promising to fix that. Can they?
Why you haven’t seen these wind turbines around (yet)
8:33 | While we’ve grown accustomed to seeing solar panels on rooftops, what about wind turbines? Are they destined to be overshadowed by their bigger counterparts?
Aeromine Rooftop Wind. Static. Silent. 50% more power than Solar PV. What’s not to like?
9:27 | Rooftop wind power has been a goal for micro power generators around the world for many years now. There’s a new kid on the block that has no visible moving parts, makes no noise, and generates 50% more power than standard solar PV panels.
Can Wind Energy Save the Planet?
9:37 | The first-ever wind turbine was built in Ohio in 1888 and today, wind power has become a widespread, cost-efficient form of renewable energy. Alejandro Alba scaled an industrial turbine to find out if wind energy can save the planet.
Wooden wind turbines. Are they really a sustainable alternative?
10:35 | Wooden windmills are surely a relic from our pre industrial history aren’t they? Well, that was certainly true until recently.
Is offshore wind the energy of the future?
14:16 | With wind almost always blowing on sea, there is no lack of power. But the technology is struggling with a bunch of other hurdles.
Deep Ocean Floating Wind Turbines. How do they do that?
12:58 | Offshore wind turbines powered almost 40% of all the UK’s homes in 2020. IEA says there’s enough potential energy out there to power all of Europe, the US and Japan several times over.
A vertical axis wind turbine that doesn’t need the prevailing wind! How do they do that?
12:08 | Most air flows just goes to waste. What if we could scoop that air up and do something useful with it?
Germany’s struggle with wind power
28:25 | Germany needs wind power if it is going to meet its climate goals, and successfully transition from nuclear and coal power to renewable energy. But the construction of wind turbines has been stalling.
Ida Auken Has a Deal for Trump
2:18 | Mr. President – Greenland is not for sale. But Denmark has a much better deal for you!
Fremtidens energiforsyning
16:14 | Fremtidens energiforsyning skal være baseret på vedvarende energi og uden fossile brændsler. Men det er ikke nok, bare at bygge en masse vindmøller, solvarmeanlæg og halmfyr.
Vindkraft i Danmark
6:35 | Filmen giver en kort introduktion til, hvad vindenergi er, hvordan vindmøller produceres, hvor de kan placeres, og hvor stor en del af vores elforsyning, vindenergien kan dække.
Vindmølle til de københavnske tage
2:23 | I Logik & Co. har vi en vision om, at vi skal bruge vinden til at producere miljøvenlig strøm lokalt.
