A new way of generating energy has been proposed: vertical wind turbin
Joe Doucet showed a smart system for generating energy based on a multitude of vertical wind turbines. The project is called AIRIVA.
The system consists of 2 structures with 8 turbines each, measuring 2.1 x 2.1 x 1.05 meters. The company estimates that 5 such units would be required to provide 100% of the electricity for 1 medium-sized house.
In 2024, Doucet intends to create a wall of 25 vertical turbines with a total peak power of 10 kW. This design has the potential to generate 240 kWh of energy daily. However, experts note that the efficiency of vertical turbines may be lower compared to models on a horizontal axis.
Systems consisting of multiple connected Airiva units can be used along highways or under bridges. Potentially, this technology could be applied to large infrastructure such as airports, harbors or railway stations.
The first deliveries of this modular system are scheduled for 2025.

Synhelion opens the world's first solar fuel production plant
A field of mirrors absorbs heat and transfers it to a thermochemical reactor, where carbon dioxide and water are used to create synthetic fuels that can then be refined into kerosene, gasoline and diesel.
Now the plant can generate only 1,000 tons per year, but by 2033 they want to build a whole network in different countries, increasing production to 1 million tons and reducing dependence on fos

Floating win turbine project approved in Norway
Norwegian company Wind Catching Systems (WCS) has announced that it has received approval for its innovative 40 MW Windcatcher floating wind turbine. Unlike traditional wind turbines with large rotors, WCS has developed a unique design consisting of multiple smaller motors organized in a grid.
The system is capable of generating up to 126 MW of power, which is 5 times the capacity of a 15 MW sing
