A new wind turbine blade design that researchers at Sandia developed in partnership with Knight & Carver of San Diego should significantly reduce the cost-of-energy of wind turbines at low-wind-speed ...

Researchers in Korea have developed a new design platform — and a staggering 12-megawatt-class blade to match — in an effort to put wind beneath the sails of its domestic production of wind power. The ...

India will make its longest onshore wind turbine blades at 91.2 metres as Adani New Industries Ltd (ANIL) scales up ...

Following years of research and development, Siemens announced a breakthrough in low-noise wind turbine blade design. The new DinoTail technology is an aeroacoustic noise augmentation tool patterned ...

Everyone’s owned a pinwheel at one time or another. I remember riding in the back of my parents’ car, sticking my pinwheel out the window as we traveled down the street. The speed at which the ...

Wind energy is becoming highly popular in the area of renewable energy, with wind energy being forecast to provide up to 8% of the world’s consumption of electricity by 2021. Advancements in wind ...

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 ...

A new study published in Renewable Energy has detailed the progress made in developing a new leaf-shaped wind turbine, but ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A new wind turbine blade design that researchers at Sandia National Laboratories developed in partnership with Knight & Carver (K&C) of San Diego promises to be more efficient ...

Vortex Bladeless uses a radically new approach to capturing wind energy. The device captures the energy of vorticity, an aerodynamic effect that has plagued structural engineers and architects for ...

When a wind turbine reaches the end of its life after two or three decades, the giant blades attached to it usually end up in a landfill. That’s largely because of the materials that are used. “[The ...

The combed-teeth structure of Siemens’ new low-noise DinoTail aerodynamic blade add-on mimics an owl wing’s trailing edge fringe. For comparison, an un-combed blade is shown on the left. Following ...
