The wings of wind turbines
The rotor in a wind turbine is shaped like an airplane wing, with two or three blades mounted on a shaft to form a rotor. When the wind blows, a pocket of low-pressure air forms on one side of the rotor. They consist of several key components that work together to produce clean, renewable energy. Andean condor flying in the Andes mountains. Thomas Armeli/iStock Nature often provides solutions to complex engineering problems, and researchers at the University of Alberta. . Engineers from the University of Alberta, in Canada, are designing wind turbines based on the wings of the heaviest bird in the world: the Andean condor, capable of flying more than 200 km in a single plane, taking advantage of the upward currents caused by the orography.Read More Download PDF
