Sometimes, it’s nice to know how windy it is outside. Knowing the direction of the wind can be a plus, too. To that end, [Sebastian Sokołowski] built himself an unusual …read more Continue reading Making a Unique Type Of Wind Gauge For Home Assistant Use
China’s Sany Renewable Energy claims it has just erected the world’s largest onshore wind turbine. The 15MW prototype was installed earlier this week in northeast China’s Jilin Province.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, TechnologyTags: Wind turbine, Wi… Continue reading World’s largest onshore wind turbine spins up 430 ft blades to deliver 15 MW
Trees and forests are an incredibly important natural resource not only for lumber and agricultural products, but also maintain a huge amount of biodiversity in the various types of forests …read more Continue reading Trees Turned Into Wind Turbines, Non-Destructively
Houston-based Aeromine Technologies has fitted a bunch of silent and motionless wind energy harnessing airfoils on the roof of BMW’s MINI manufacturing plant in Oxford, UK. They’re meant to complement the factory’s solar panels to produce clean energy,… Continue reading Motionless turbines deliver super-efficient wind energy to BMW’s factory
Ever wonder how effectively your model cars would slice through the air if they were full-scale functional automobiles? Well, a little something known as the Windsible could tell ya (sort of), as it’s touted as being the world’s first consumer desktop … Continue reading Desktop wind tunnel runs aerodynamic tests at small scale
Ever since the first satellites started imaging the Earth, scientists have been using the data gathered to learn more about our planet and improve the lives of its inhabitants. From …read more Continue reading Satellite Provides Detailed Data on Antarctic Ice
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
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 that could scale to unprecedented size and power.Conti… Continue reading Extraordinary contra-rotating floating wind turbines to begin testing
High-altitude platform stations (HAPS) are effective tools for communication and surveillance because they operate from the stratosphere, usually at around 12 miles (20 km) above the Earth, much closer than satellites. There are two types of HAPS: ligh… Continue reading “Sailing the winds”: How stratospheric balloons navigate the skies
Extreme engineering is becoming the norm as offshore wind continues to scale up. Sweeping the area of 12.3 standard NFL fields each rotation, with gargantuan 140-meter (459-ft) blades, the MySE 18.X-28X will be the largest wind turbine ever built.
