Rethinking Wind Power: Why Vertical Axis Wind Turbines Might Be the Unsung Heroes of Renewable Energy
When most people picture wind turbines, they imagine those towering giants with long blades slicing through the air—classic horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs). But there’s a different breed of wind turbine that’s been quietly gaining attention, and it’s worth a closer look: vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). Unlike the conventional models that spin like a…
