Noise from wind turbines limits where they can be built. But a design that mimics the shape of owl feathers can make wind ...

“The aerodynamic performance of curvilinear blades in cascade axial turbines depends on the profile shape and the behaviour of fluid flow on the blade surfaces,” says lead researcher, Vladimir ...

workers scaled 544-foot-tall wind turbines and started adding fringe-like attachments to the massive blades. The design, inspired by the shape of owl feathers, aims to solve one of the wind ...

The company took a used wind turbine blade, and fashioned it into a sleek and modern looking bike shed in Denmark. The blade was cut and shaped in order to act as an effective break for the wind ...

Similar solutions are being tested elsewhere that use different methodologies but have the same overarching goal of breaking down the materials used in wind turbine blades. Vestas Wind Systems ...

Currently, offshore wind turbines harness around 8 MW at rated capacity ... Bristol researchers have found a way of creating adaptive blades capable of changing shape in response to varying wind ...

As wind turbines have increased in size and ... This shows just how important the shape of the turbine blades is in order to get the best possible performance, and exemplifies the issue with ...

Bird strikes are one of the main environmental concerns surrounding onshore wind farms Painting one blade of a wind turbine black could cut bird strikes at wind farms by up to 70%, a study suggests.
