Modern wind turbine blades have a twist along the length of the blade. The airfoil's optimal angle of attack is affected by the apparent wind direction. The apparent wind direction changes as the ...
As enthusiasm to harness offshore wind energy hits a high, here’s the lowdown on what affects its long-term viability.
Some call it the “wind turbine capital of Texas ... Modern turbines are colossal. Their blades are more than four school buses in length, which makes them challenging and expensive to ...
A man was crushed to death by a fan blade of a wind turbine being built at one of Australia's largest wind farms, police said ...
A wind turbine blade can make for an easy-to-build bike ... small houses or as girders to build small bridges under 50m in length. Thus far, these efforts remain largely speculative.
A man has died after being crushed beneath a wind turbine blade in Victoria’s west, two weeks after the Australian Workers ...
or nearly the length of two Olympic-sized swimming pools. The swept area of such a mammoth rotor blade would cover Rome's Colosseum. But things move quickly in the wind turbine industry.
As wind turbines keep growing in hub height and corresponding turbine blade length, such extreme blade tip velocities may become increasingly common, especially for offshore wind turbines which ...
University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science professor Eric Loth, who led a multi-institutional team in ...
Russell Coad, who owns a property next door to the wind farm, found several serrated shards, up to half a metre in length and ...
A worker has been crushed to death by a wind farm turbine blade in Australia just weeks ... the organisation said in a ...
A man has reportedly been involved in a freak accident involving a wind turbine blade at a farm in Victoria’s west. It’s understood the man was crushed by the blade at a wind farm in Rokewood about ...
