Getting to the top of a wind turbine is no small feat—akin to summiting the Washington Monument—and even more difficult when the wind farm is at sea. So rather than force human inspectors to ...

Their additive manufacturing blades tested in typical Alabama low wind conditions 44 percent better than the factory blades.

According to Wind Power Engineering, “Most turbine blades are made from composites, materials joined for their complementary properties. Today’s wind-turbine blades are usually made of a glass or ...

Wind turbine blades are the ideal product to get this silica from because they also contain a bit of resin, which can be used as fuel for the cement-making process, reducing fossil fuel use.

Danish wind turbine maker Vestas says it’s figured out how to recycle all wind turbine blades – even ones already sitting in landfills.

Windmills today are giants, made by global players pulling off enormous feats of engineering. The monstrous scale has helped turn wind into a mainstream form of power.

The initial windmills made by small operations had quality problems. Blades — then just 15 feet in length — would break or fall apart.

If you live in a state where wind power is generating an increasing share of electricity, you’ve probably passed a windmill blade being towed down the highway and assumed that another new wind ...
