JUDITH GAP - The winds that spin the blade tips at 217 mph at Invenergy's 90-turbine wind park also deliver lightning, which can shatter a windmill's 122-foot arms like a truck ramming a fence post.

3. Weather Woes: Nature’s Unpredictable Fury Turbulence. Lightning. Low visibility. Sudden storms. Weather is a silent but deadly factor in many air disasters.

A truck was pulling a wind turbine blade when the object struck a guardrail, blocking traffic along I-70 in Maryland.

West's wind power giants losing ground to Chinese 'they may never win back' Siemens Gamesa opened its own blade factory in Morocco in 2017 in Tangier, not far from Nador on Morocco’s northern coast.

A wind turbine rotates to face into the wind. The blades pick up the wind and feed into a low-speed shaft which runs at the same speed as the blades (7 to 12 revolutions per minute).

Research from all publishers Recent studies have provided valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms that dictate the aerothermal behaviour of turbine blade tips. Investigations have ...

Using this technique, Tyagi rewrote Glauert’s original solution. Plus, it allowed Tyagi to extend that solution to more complicated scenarios. In particular, Tyagi included the effects of the air wind ...

Weather stations and lightning systems provide a super hyper local look at conditions across the grounds of Oakmont. Thor Guard's technology not only detects but predicts lightning strikes.
