As wind energy expands globally, maintaining the efficiency and longevity of turbine blades is a critical challenge.

Recycling massive wind turbine blades can be difficult because they're built from sturdy materials to weather the elements for decades. Researchers at Washington State University have devised a ...

approval for Chromalloy's CF6-80C2 1 st Stage High Pressure Turbine (HPT) Blade Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA). This Chromalloy PMA part has safely flown over 1 BILLION flight hours around the ...

"The quality that we do possess has gone missing tonight at the top of the pitch." The Blades face Plymouth Argyle (A), Cardiff City (H), Burnley (A), Stoke City (A) and Blackburn Rovers (H) in their ...

A nearly 100-meter-long wind turbine blade, weighing 36 tons, is making its way along a steep mountain ridge at an altitude of 1,800 meters in Chongqing, China. Nearly $1 billion of DOGE ...

The turbine was recently struck by lightning and destroyed just months after one of its blades dangerously fell into the Atlantic Ocean, dropping non-biodegradable fiberglass shards into the water ...

Abstract: Despite the magnetometer in a magnetic and inertial measurement unit (MIMU) being used to estimate the azimuth, its measurements can also negatively affect the computation of inclination ...

Mild chemical recycling of waste wind turbine blade for direct reuse in production of thermoplastic composites with enhanced performance. Resources, Conservation and Recycling , 2025; 215: 108159 ...

The glass fiber-reinforced material makes up about two-thirds of a wind turbine blade's total weight. Furthermore, when the blades are made, about 15% of the material is also wasted in manufacturing. ...

Conventional turbines are incredibly tall with blades moving at breakneck speed. Birds and bats have been known to collide with these massive blades. As such, the turbines threaten not only the ...
