he newly formed Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) has begun its search for green technology energy solutions in Britain this week. Britain’s Science and Innovation Minister, Lord Drayson, announced the first four recipients of funding from ETI. Among them is the funding for research and development of the V-wing Turbine. The V-wing Turbine is a massive and unconventional wind turbine that uses a large pair of vertical wings to generate wind energy.
Along with the V-wing turbine, the other funding recipients include research into a floating offshore wind turbine for use in away from the coast in the ocean -http://www.windpowerninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/v-wing-wind-turbine.jpg
