The towering structures are often taller than the Statue of Liberty and can adjust to changes in the wind to maximize energy generation. Wind turbines are a modern marvel, harnessing the power of the ...
Northern California has some of the strongest offshore winds in the U.S., with immense potential to produce clean energy. But it also has a problem. Its continental shelf drops off quickly, making ...
Thanks to the development of new, lightweight rotors, engineers in Germany have created a small wind turbine that excels at ...
German engineers have developed a lightweight wind turbine that can generate 83% more power than similar models, even in low-wind conditions.
This message is still resonating, but not quite as clearly as it once did. While nearly seven out of ten Americans want more offshore wind farms, public support has been slipping a bit. According to ...
An experimental study of the effects of trailing edge cracks and turbulent inflow will inform future models employed to ...
If your house is out in the open, wind power can be surprisingly effective. The main advantage of wind power is that it works day and night. Unlike solar panels that take a break after sunset, a wind ...
For millennia, humans have harnessed the power of wind. Wind fueled the boats of the Egyptians, the irrigation of the Babylonians, and the grain-grinding windmills of the Persians. Today, modern wind ...
