The Breakthrough 2 Blades Wind Turbine That's Breaking Records!

September 6th, 2025

Although two blade wind turbines have significant efficiency advantages over three blade turbines they are brutally difficult to engineer. The reason - vibration. But the Chinese company Envision Energy is giving it another try where other have failed. Their secret - digital rather than mechanical controls.

This Company Just Unlocked Geothermal Energy Worldwide!

July 5th, 2025

In a groundbreaking leap toward a sustainable future, Sage Geosystems unveils a revolutionary technique that could transform the way we harness Earth's hidden power.

These Wind Turbines have No Blades!

June 17th, 2021

Ricky explains several wind generator technologies in development that do not use gigantic rotating blades and in a few case no moving parts at all. What intrigues Ricky about these devices is that are much smaller than the turbines on wind farms and in some cases can be installed on a family home just like solar panels.
