Complaints about wind near the Walkie Talkie have prompted action by the City of London The City of London is promising that high-rise buildings will be monitored to ensure they don't make conditions ...

Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...

As wind farms expand, some can accidentally "steal" each others' wind – causing worries over some countries' energy transition to net zero. As offshore wind farms are expanding around the world in the ...

We’ve all felt the wind blow. The wind helps us fly kites, sail boats and dry our washing when it’s out on the line! Wind can be very helpful, but when it's too strong, it can be destructive. Wind ...

The City of London is promising that high-rise buildings will be monitored to ensure they don't make conditions unbearably windy in surrounding streets. But why do skyscrapers have this effect and ...
