In a long-awaited, historic step toward “real" not cookbook wind engineering, the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers recently issued a recommended alternative ...

Early car aerodynamic development focused on physical observation rather than simulation. Wind tunnels were first developed ...

Most of the world's greatest wind power resources are offshore – often a long way offshore, where the water's so deep that it's impractical to build typical fan-on-a-stick wind turbines with bases ...

The wind-induced response of structures has been a significant subject of engineering research over the past 40 years. Tall, slender buildings, chimneys, antenna towers, high-mast light standards, ...

Norwegian start-up World Wide Wind's innovative design, which features two 'contra-rotating' rotors on a slimline tower-spar structure, is foreseen pushing the emerging technology's levelised cost of ...

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gazelle Wind Power (Gazelle), the developer of a hybrid modular floating offshore wind platform, has received the results of its basin model tests at the Environmental ...

Bryan Nelson is a science writer and award-winning documentary filmmaker with over a decade of experience covering technology, astronomy, medicine, animals, and more. This antennae-looking turbine ...

Anemoi Marine Technologies and its partners have completed a joint development project aimed at simplifying the integration ...

Buildings with integrated wind turbines could generate at least 20 percent of their own energy needs, and perhaps all. They would be more power efficient than ordinary wind farms or solar powered ...
