   Wind turbines in Texas, United States. Wind turbines can be used to generate electricity in areas with strong, steady winds, sometimes offshore. Many different designs have been used in the past, but almost all modern turbines being produced today use a three-bladed, upwind design. [22] Grid-connected wind turbines now being built are much ...

7. Flywheel energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel_energy_storage

   NASA G2 flywheel. Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the ...

8. Gorlov helical turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorlov_helical_turbine

   quietrevolution QR5 wind turbine. The Gorlov helical turbine (GHT) is a water turbine evolved from the Darrieus turbine design by altering it to have helical blades/foils. Water turbines take kinetic energy and translate it into electricity. It was patented in a series of patents from September 19, 1995 [1] to July 3, 2001 [2] and won 2001 ASME ...
