The majority of the world’s electricity is produced by steam turbines consisting of a cascade ... parameter-driven optimization approach to blade design that makes sense of the complex ...

As wind turbines continue to grow to capture more energy, blades are becoming ever so slender and flexible, increasing the coupling between their aerodynamic and structural responses. Our research ...

as in typical utility turbines or a classic electric fan you might use to cool off on a sunny day, instead a vertical axis is used. This necessitates a very different blade design due to the ...

[Jan] created this turbine with the help of QBlade, a piece of software that helps design turbine blades. It doesn’t ... attempted to adapt a ceiling fan motor into a wind turbine generator.

"The expectation is that this design reduces so-called motion smear, making the blades more visible to birds. Statkraft Painting one of the blades on a turbine is believed to reduce "motion smear ...
