New study shows bridges from retired wind turbine blades are more cost-effective and eco-friendly than steel, FRP or glulam options, with lower CO2 emissions and positive market potential.

The blades of propellers and wind turbines are designed based on aerodynamics principles that were first described mathematically more than a century ago. But engineers have long realized that these ...

Wind power has always been a trade off between clean energy and the visual, acoustic, and ecological cost of giant spinning blades. A new generation of radical designs promises something different, ...

As the world innovates to become more sustainable and electrified, the demand for renewable energy generation grows. Wind energy has become key in increasing the renewable energy generation mix of ...

The type of wind turbine you’re used to seeing in stock photos of wind farms is called a horizontal axis wind turbine (or, HAWT). But there is another form of wind power, called a vertical axis wind ...

Aikido Technologies, a U.S. startup developing floating offshore wind platforms, announced a new product concept that merges wind turbine foundations with onboard data centers into a single steel ...

Drag-based wind energy design. Aiming to translate its expertise in manufacturing monocoque, ribbed components with thermoplastic microspheres, Xenecore is working to develop a fan-shaped, drag-based ...

The WindSpider design doesn't, since it builds its own little scaffold around the tower, section by section, and mounts the small crane unit directly to that. This means the system works with any old ...

Wind turbines keep getting bigger: Each blade can be longer than a football field, and one offshore turbine recently installed in China is as tall as a 50-story building. Making the base to hold up a ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In the pursuit of sustainable and renewable energy sources, wind energy has emerged as a key player. Traditional wind turbines, with their iconic spinning blades, have become a ...
