Its unique dual-rotor design and robust construction allow it to operate in conditions that would cause significant problems for traditional wind turbines. This ‘strange’ ability is significantly ...

attacks that block the communication between the rotor speed sensor and the controller of the wind turbine may overload the drive-train and reduce the power generation efficiency. This paper attempts ...

This motorcycle packs the most powerful series-production Harley-Davidson V-twin engine and returns one of the highest MPG ...

MingYang Smart Energy has launched the world's first dual-headed wind turbine, the Ocean X, now fully operational at the ...

with a cut-in wind speed of 3 meters per second. Although it has a similar power rating to the Goldwind model, it is considerably smaller, with a rotor diameter of 150 metres and a swept area of ...

While most traditional wind turbines depend solely and largely on rotating blades, bladeless turbines are capable of harnessing wind energy through oscillation. Such turbines consist of a fixed ...

“This updraft increases the wind incidence of the rotor blades causing them to lift furthermore into the updraft, exacerbating the issue,” says the AAIB. Only partial studies had been ...

The ‘WinDesign’ contest invites participants to rethink the aesthetics of wind power plants which are typically constructed using conical tubular steel towers supporting a generator in a nacelle with ...

A Siemens Gamesa 4.7MW onshore wind turbine has collapsed in South Korea, waking nearby residents in the middle of the night who thought the tremors were from an earthquake. The incident reportedly ...
