Using a system of cylindrical granular particles -- small solid rods made of quartz -- the researchers built a highly tunable mechanical platform. By precisely adjusting how the cylinders touch each ...

Tiltable, liftable one-piece composite rotor design aims to withstand storm-force winds, boost energy yield and enable more ...

Researchers have found a surprising new use for retired wind turbine blades — making stronger, more resilient roads.

Energy-generating wind turbines have come a long way since the first-known example was built in the late 1880s. What started as a 10-meter-tall (33 feet) construction in a back garden in Scotland has ...

Solar has outpaced wind as the renewable energy leader. But recent innovations, like taller towers and longer rotor blades, could unlock significantly more wind energy potential— though not without ...

In this context, a wheelbase preview-based model predictive control (PMPC) approach for anti-pitch/roll in electric vehicle active suspension systems (ASS) is proposed to enhance vehicle ride comfort ...

refining Glauert’s classical model and significantly improving wind turbine efficiency. Her research, published in Wind Energy Science, introduces a simpler method that incorporates thrust and ...

A change in the natural wind system over the Atlantic Ocean due to worsening climate change could lead to increasingly severe winter flooding and storm damage in northwestern Europe, scientists ...

Fiji Bula Boys coach Rob Sherman says that while his team is accustomed to rain, the prevailing wind conditions have been the primary ... have also got to experience what they will expect on the pitch ...

2024 SolarWind China has built more than 120,000 wind turbines, nearly a third of the world total, and 1.5 million acres of utility-scale solar. 2024 SolarWind And emerging economies like Turkey ...

A purpose-built vessel, carrying the first turbines for a major wind farm in the North Sea, has set sail with its first cargo. The Wind Peak arrived in Hull on 12 March to collect components to be ...
