4D printing of composites could transform rooftop wind turbine manufacturing: Concordia University researchers demonstrated a ...

The Swiss manufacturer launches Gurit98m, an open-source blade model designed to support the development, design and optimisation of wind turbine blade materials. This initiative also reflects the ...

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 Spanish company has developed bladeless wind turbines that oscillate to generate electricity. These devices use ...

In recent decades, wind turbine blade design has evolved to meet rising demands for efficiency, reliability and cost-effectiveness. The dynamic behaviour of blades under aerodynamic loading involves ...

Wind power usually brings to mind towering machines, massive blades, and construction crews pouring concrete deep into the ...

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 ...

A Spanish startup's vibrating pole generates electricity with no blades, no noise, and no bird strikes — and it could sit ...
