The term “hydroelectric power” often brings to mind immense operations driven by purpose-built infrastructure such as dam systems and large turbines with traditionally metallic, propeller-based ...

Turbine blades for use in jet engines need to be made of a hard, unyielding exotic material made to exact specifications, which means the drilling of tiny cooling holes in the blades runs the risk of ...

MELBOURNE -- Fred Sundermann, an Australian farmer with a long history in design and innovations, has developed a bi-directionally low-head water turbine designed to maximize operational efficiency in ...

There are several operational factors and requirements that have guided design and development of composite wind turbine blades over the last 20 years. The most important factors and requirements are ...

Wind turbines have long produced renewable energy but a French engineering firm has discovered another eco-purpose for the towering structures. Eole Water claims to have successfully modified the ...

In an effort to develop renewable energy sources, engineers are looking for ways to build a better mousetrap. Or, in this case, windmill. As manufacturers continue to lower the cost of wind turbines ...
