New research to protect eagles from wind turbines Researchers from Oregon State University (OSU) will work to make eagles less likely to collide with wind-turbine blades, according to a news release from OSU on Tuesday. Microsoft unveils new laptop with new operating system Microsoft Corporation un...
Today, much of the carrion eaten by the Egyptian vulture contains either poison or lead shot, which eventually proves fatal for the scavenger. In addition, drugs administered to livestock upon whose carcasses the vulture preys are harmful to the bird. Collisions with wind turbines and electrical c...
I've noticed that critics of wind power, both here at TOD and elsewhere, like to latch onto the size of wind turbines and their support structures as 'proof' that wind power will not be doable in a resource-constrained world. I say that is a lot of rubbish. I have very carefully vie...
Picture: Wind tunnel model of an A4 in the Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin At the time, Germany was highly interested in American physicist Robert H. Goddard's research. Before 1939, German scientists occasionally contacted Goddard directly with technical questions.[11] Von Braun used Goddard's plan...
If you could look directly behind any aircraft regardless of wind the trail it created would always appear straight back. If the wind was directly perpendicular to the plane and it was 200 kts it would still trail diectly behind the aircraft. This fact is hard to visualize. Uncinus (Mick...
current. That is why in certain cases other types are usually used, such as the Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT), where the Savonius type stands out. In my case, I think it is also important to deal with this type of Wind Turbines in classes in order to stretch the students’ ...
The nearby Bangui Windmills, a wind farm featuring towering turbines, are another must-see attraction. Whether you're looking for relaxation, adventure, or a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Philippines, Pagudpud in Ilocos Norte has it all. With its stunning beaches, ...
For a unique experience, venture a little further to the Codrington Wind Farm, where you can witness the impressive turbines harnessing the power of the wind. This sustainable energy project showcases the region's commitment to environmental conservation and offers a striking contrast to the coastal...
Although it meets the demands of renewability and energy efficiency, nuclear power can have a negative impact on the environment. Likewise, some of the methods used to produce solar panels, wind turbines, and other technology to convert renewable sources into energy are polluting, leading to ...
An underwater power generator is currently a big topic with global officials because it harnesses the ocean's waves to create electricity for coastal cities. Massive turbines that spin several hundred times per minute are installed on the ocean's sandy bottom to take advantage of the natural tide...
