Wind turbines last longer than ever thanks to continuous engineering improvements. Gearboxes in wind turbines, more than those in any other application, tend to fail prematurely. In fact, at some wind ...
Sometime this year, the swept area of the world's largest wind turbine will grow by nearly 30 percent. Swept area describes the circular zone outlined by the tips of a turbine's turning rotor blades, ...
Tom Bowker, CTO of Clean Energy Technologies, describes how Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) technology achieves better efficiencies in wind power generation. Tom Bowker, CTO of Clean Energy ...
Turbine flow design has changed little since their invention in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries due to the simplicity and power of these devices to extract energy from the movement of a ...
This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The simplest axial magnetic gearboxes consist of two disks each containing alternating positive and negative magnets ...
SAN ANTONIO -- April 8, 2019 -- A team of Southwest Research Institute and General Electric (GE) engineers have designed, built and tested the highest temperature supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) ...
Engineers at the Southwest Research Institute have developed and built a radial flow gas turbine that is very rugged, low-cost and easy to repair. Engineers at the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) ...
