Street sledding, a popular pastime in Norway, is an activity that is slowly dwindling in popularity, at least as far as [Justin] aka [Garage Avenger] has noticed. It used to …read more Continue reading Bringing Modern Technology to a Sled
Connecticut-based WaveAerospace has announced “the world’s fastest multirotor UAS,” a “new class of aircraft” that’s effectively a quadcopter drone with a raging jet turbine in the middle, capable of insane speeds and all-weather operation.

Looking at a wind turbine from first principles, it’s essentially a set of wings that generate lift in much the same way an airplane wing does. Putting the wings on …read more Continue reading Kites Fill Electricity Generation Gaps
Steam turbines still produce most of the world’s power, but supercritical carbon dioxide promises to be much cheaper, and 10% more efficient as a medium than water, using 10X smaller turbines. A US$155-million pilot plant is now complete in San Antonio… Continue reading Supercritical CO2 pilot aims to make steam turbines obsolete
[Irak Mayer] has been exploring IoT applications for use with remote monitoring of irrigation control systems. As you would expect, the biggest challenges for moving data from the middle of …read more Continue reading Supercon 2022: Irak Mayer Builds Self-Sustainable Outdoor IoT Devices
As the world has moved towards sustainable energy sources over the last few years, it’s increasingly common to be close to a wind turbine. The huge turbines visible on the …read more Continue reading How Simple Can A Wind Generator Get?
One factor limiting the output of today’s power stations is the metals used in the blades, bearings and seals of their steam turbines, which tend to soften and elongate well before their melting point. Solve these problems, and you could conceivably ra… Continue reading Heat-loving lightweight superalloy promises higher turbine efficiency
When a wind turbine reaches the end of its working life, components like towers and nacelles can be recycled but blades often end up in landfill. Vestas is looking to commercialize a new chemical process that can break down all epoxy-based turbine blad… Continue reading Vestas looks to recycle turbine blades headed for landfill
Harvesting energy from the wind has been a commercially viable way of generating clean energy for around three decades now. Wind turbines are a reliable, proven technology but they do …read more Continue reading Go Fly a Kite
Early last month, Siemens Gamesa reported that recyclable turbine blades had been successfully installed at the Kaskasi offshore wind farm in the North Sea. Now the company has announced the market availability of an onshore equivalent.Continue Reading… Continue reading Recyclable turbine blades now available for onshore wind energy projects
