Using 4D printing of composites, PhD candidate Emad Fakhimi and Suong Van Hoa, a professor at the Concordia Centre for ...

A wildly innovative turbine that could halve the cost of offshore wind is set to go into testing in Norway. The 19-m (62-ft), 30-kW, contra-rotating vertical-axis turbine is a prototype of a design ...

Insight into wind turbine technologies and how they deal with extreme weather. Turbine safety features that help mitigate damage. What the future holds for wind turbine technology. Wind turbines in ...

Humanity has been harvesting energy from the wind for centuries. The practice goes back at least to 8th century Persia where the first known historical records of windmills came, but likely extends ...

Windmills and wind turbines share the same spinning blades, but these wind-powered structures have very different roles. Here ...

On a recent winter day on a wind farm in Germany, 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 ...

For decades, wind power has relied on a familiar formula: enormous towers, vast concrete foundations and specialised heavy-lift equipment capable of transporting and assembling components that can ...

Wind turbine maker General Electric had been locked in a multi-year patent infringement battle with rival Siemens Gamesa over design of its landmark Haliade-X offshore model and sales in the in U.S.

The share of wind power in total electric power generation is expected to increase, and with that comes a requirement for this carbon-free source to be more reliable. The most important component of a ...
