When severe weather strikes, one of the most destructive things wind can do, other than form a tornado, is create what is known as a "microburst." "Microbursts can cause extensive damage at the ...

There are different types of wind names based on their location in the world, speed, as well as the general wind direction. Meteorologists, scientists, and other observers of weather have given names ...

Small wind turbines include a wide range of models, from micro turbine to home turbines to mini turbines. The power ratings of the wind turbines utilized in this end-use application range from a few ...

Humanity has been harvesting energy from the wind for centuries. The practice goes back at least to 8th century Persia where the first known historical records of windmills came, but likely extends ...

What is wind power density? The different types of generators used in wind-turbine systems. What architecture is most commonly used in high-power wind-energy-conversion systems (WECS)? Fundamental ...

Since childhood, Michael Carruth, a junior in the environmental design program at CU-Boulder, has been fascinated with nature. Long hours spent playing outdoors, observing swirling leaves, clouds ...

These wind turbines perform the same function as the large models used in fields or at sea, converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy through a propeller and an alternator.

A design firm from New York, Atelier DNA, has developed a concept that uses cattail like stalks instead of traditional turbine blades for harnessing the power of wind. Planned for the city of Masdar, ...
