As demand for wind energy intensifies, turbine reliability and efficiency are paramount. In this context, lubrication plays a ...

Nicknamed 'the Skybrator' by the internet, a bladeless wind turbine has been designed to generate energy from its vibrations alone. Global wind power growth must triple over the next decade to achieve ...

The UK’s first “motionless” wind energy system has been installed on a roof in Oxford. When we think of wind energy, wind turbines naturally spring to mind - elegant blades spinning to drive an ...

Noise from wind turbines has been labelled a potential health hazard by researchers at the UN. The power-generating blades were included in a comprehensive assessment of the harm noise causes to ...

One source of clean energy is turning into a dirty problem for Europe. The Continent's first wind farms, built three decades ago, now host many towers that are too old, too small and too inefficient ...

Wind turbines are built to last. Their tall bodies are topped with long fiberglass blades, some more than half a football field in length, made to withstand the harshest, windiest conditions. But this ...

Wind turbines can cause heart problems, tinnitus, nausea, panic attacks and headaches among people living nearby, according to a US doctor who has studied their effects for five years. Dr Nina ...

The study by a panel of independent experts found that the irritation caused by the noise around wind farms can effect certain individuals. Scientists dismissed the idea of a "wind turbine syndrome" ...

Learn how an undergraduate student at Penn State University broke a century-old math problem, and how it applies to wind turbines. An undergraduate student at Penn State University discovered a new ...

A Penn State student refined a century-old math problem, originally published in 1935, that determines the optimal aerodynamic performance of a wind turbine. The student's work improves upon the ...

The symptoms they claim to have suffered may vary – including dizziness; increased blood pressure and depression – but the theme remains the same It was Uplawmoor’s tranquillity and wild beauty that ...
