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 ...
As our technology advances, new types of turbines for wind power generation are emerging. The Helix 3.0 can capture wind ...
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 ...
As time passes, we have made extensive improvements in wind turbine technology. A new 885-foot giant from Grimshaw has ...
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 second ZEBRA blade seen at LM Wind Powers Lunderskov facility alongside consortium leaders. Second recyclable thermoplastic blade built by LM Wind Power in Castellón, with a component made from ...
Even though offshore wind currently makes up only 0.3% of the world’s total power generation, the market is poised for growth as many investors are encouraged by wind power’s rapidly declining costs.
The new 91.2 metres marks a significant leap in design complexity, materials engineering and manufacturing capability.
In southern Sweden, the city of Lund has built a multi-story parking garage that clearly shows how people can reuse old materials in practical and creative ways. The project demonstrates that builders ...
It is the year 2035. In a world facing climate catastrophe, the human enterprise is powered by fields of wind farms, with turbine blades made from fast-growing grasses and the roots of a ...
