Germany is taking wind power to new heights with a turbine almost as tall as Berlin’s iconic television tower at ...

Wave-shaped exterior walls and roofs on low-rise buildings reduce peak hurricane wind pressures by 40-60%, new wind tunnel ...

Florida State University faculty are helping build stronger structures by examining how wave-shaped patterns on exterior ...

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers found that wave-shaped wall and roof surfaces can reduce peak hurricane wind pressures on low-rise buildings by 40 to 60 percent.

For those who want a grounding in the physics and basic engineering of wind turbines, this book probably isn't a bad place to start. The author, a mechanical engineering Ph.D. who consults in wind ...

Two men who made critical contributions to the development of wind power will share the £500,000 QEPrize, nicknamed the "Nobel of engineering". Denmark's Henrik Stiesdal framed the early design ...

Urban air mobility (UAM) is an emerging concept in air transportation featuring highly automated aircraft that are expected to include a mix of piloted, remotely piloted, and fully autonomous vehicles ...

Simulation of wind flows around the model of Austin’s 321 West 6th Street illustrates the E-SE wind direction that resulted in the largest cross-wind response on the 58-story high-rise. The hotter the ...

Three noted wind-energy experts from our Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIE) Department – first author James Manwell (the founding director of the Wind Energy Center at UMass Amherst) and ...

David Yanez was looking for a new way to generate wind energy and seeing the video of the swaying Tacoma Narrows Bridge brought him inspiration. The aeroelastic fluttering was enough to cause the ...

After two decades of steady growth, wind blew past hydroelectric as the leading source of renewable energy in the United States in 2019. Last year, wind turbines generated a total of 338 billion ...

Design captures, accelerates, and concentrates the wind, sending it to a ground-level turbine, allowing it to generate more electricity at lower cost. The wind is faster at higher altitudes and wind ...
