Besides EVs, molybdenum also has a role to play in the transition to clean energy generation via its use in wind turbines.According to the IMOA, molybdenum alloys are ideal for the powertrain components of windmills and the requirement for the metal for this use is estimated at 100 kilograms ...
What Are Alternatives to Petroleum? Alternatives include wind, solar, and biofuels. Wind power uses wind turbines to harness the power of the wind to create energy. Solar power uses the sun as an energy source, and biofuels use vegetable oils and animal fat as a power source. What Are Clas...
Wind energy technology improved dramatically over the past decade, as wind turbines became giant feats of engineering, towering over the landscape or floating in the sea. A single turbine today can power thousands of homes and takes just three to six months to recoup the costs of pro...
The cost of even small wind turbines can vary greatly based on how much power you hope to generate. As you might imagine, the higher the power capacity, the higher the cost of the turbine. In addition to the turbine itself, you will also need to invest in other components such as the...
Vertical-axis wind turbines (left: Darrieus turbine) In a VAWT, the shaft is mounted on a vertical axis, perpendicular to the ground. VAWTs are always aligned with the wind, unlike their horizontal-axis counterparts, so there's no adjustment necessary when the wind direction changes; but a ...
Now that we've looked at a simplified system, we'll move on to the modern technology you see in wind farms and rural backyards today. It's a bit more complex, but the underlying principles are the same. Modern Wind-power Technology When you talk about modern wind turbines, you're ...
The project entered a new phase. Through a technology forum, the R&D centre in Bergen—now part of Equinor, after the merger—took over the reins. Could they carry out a feasibility study on wind turbines at sea? Researchers Finn Gunnar Nielsen (right) and Tor David Hanson had to solve ...
with a simple payback estimation in years. If it takes too long to regain your capital investment—the number of years comes too close or is greater than the life of the system—wind energy will not be practical for you. Read here for more on thephysics and economics of wind turbines. ...
Scanning large objects such as buildings, statues, airplanes, trucks, or wind turbines with some handheld 3D devices can be quite time-consuming and even tiring. Capturing them with professional LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) solutions will make your workflow that much more efficient. These lo...
