Putting Wind to Work
Today, wind is making a comeback as a source of electricity and power. Wind energy is produced with wind turbines —tall, tubular towers with blades rotating at the top. When the wind turns the blades, the blades turn a
What Happens to Wind Turbine Blades at the End of
Increase recyclable blade research and development. States and the federal government can provide competitive grants, research funding, and incentives to labs and companies innovating new recyclable blade
The Science of Wind Energy: How Turbines Convert Air into
Environmental Benefits of Wind Energy. Wind energy is not only a renewable resource but also a clean one. Unlike fossil fuels, wind power generation produces no greenhouse gas emissions
Alternator and AC/DC Motor Conversions to Wind Turbine Generators
A circular rotor on the outside reacts to the magnetic field and rotates along with your fan blades. This circular rotor is a series of steel plates organized in a specific geometric
Bends, Twists, and Flat Edges Change the Game for
In 2012, two wind turbine blade innovations made wind power a higher performing, more cost-effective, and reliable source of electricity: a blade that can twist while it bends and blade airfoils (the cross-sectional shape of
Study on the effects of winglets: wind turbine blades having circular
Performance enhancement of horizontal axis wind turbine with circular arc blade section has been investigated both experimentally and computationally using upstream and
Power generation enhancement in a horizontal axis wind turbine blade
They showed that the split blade produced more power compared to the straight blade at lower wind speeds, while the tubercle blades had better power performance in severe

Building A Wind Power Generator In Your Backyard
The wind power generator uses 24 magnets, copper wire fashioned into coils, and a metal plate for the main generator. The coils are arranged in a circular formation on a static plate, while
