Wind Turbine Works Sans Blades
04/03/2013, What you see above might be just a concept at this point in time, an idea that has yet to be tested and proven successful, but assuming it actually takes off in due time, it could very well prove to [...]
Walgreens Building A Superstore That Runs Only On Renewable Energy
03/12/2013, The cost of energy isn’t cheap as gas prices and home heating costs rise on a semi-regular basis, and one place that we usually don’t think of as energy-sucking locations is the local 24-hour pharmacy. These places need to run [...]
Wooden turbine towers: A highly feasible alternative
09/07/2012, Mankind initially learnt to construct buildings with wood. Fast-forward to modern day and we have learnt to use materials such as steel and aluminum in construction. Conventionally, the wind turbine industry has been making use of steel to build its [...]
Wind turbines to bother radar systems no more?
10/26/2011, We all learn a new thing every single day – and for today, did you know that wind turbines are able to garble up radar systems? Yes, that is right – with wind turbines in the vicinity, air traffic control [...]
