Blade Types for Wind Turbine Users | The Complete Guide

The pitch of your turbine blades—the angle of the blade''s windward edge—is a key factor in maximizing your turbine''s efficiency, especially at low windspeeds. Too low of a pitch and the

Beyond the Blades: 6 Innovations Challenging Wind

The wind devices generally fall into two camps: the vertical axis turbine and the passive flow wind device. However, they differ greatly in size, shape, and intended use. The Windcatcher compared to a traditional wind

The Science Behind Wind Blades and How They Work

Wind turbine blades can be recycled, but the procedure is complicated and difficult. Wind turbine blades are usually made of a composite material blend of fiberglass, carbon fiber, and resin, making recycling

MIT engineers'' new theory could improve the design

A new model accurately represents the airflow around rotors, even under extreme conditions. Developed by MIT engineers, the model could improve the way turbine blades and wind farms are designed.

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

Technology Advancements Could Unlock 80% More
