The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has successfully employed 3D printing to create large rotating steam turbine blades for power plants, in collaboration with Siemens ...

We feature a lot of off-grid power projects here at Hackaday, whether they’re a micropower harvester or something to power a whole house. Somewhere in the middle lies [esposcar90]’s 3D-printed ...

As the technology evolves, wind turbines are beginning to come in all shapes and sizes. We’ve told you recently about the design of turbines as large as a football field for offshore wind farms, but ...
