Recycling massive wind turbine blades can be difficult because they're built from sturdy materials to weather the elements ...

A Dutch company has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by designing a 3D printed modular bridge that repurposes a ...

The method would help find a second life for the plastics that make up the bulk of thousands of turbine blades in the U.S.

Veolia said it "offers a full spectrum of water, waste, and energy management services." Until recently, wind turbine blades were nearly impossible to recycle. Now, one company is shredding the ...

Tiltable, liftable one-piece composite rotor design aims to withstand storm-force winds, boost energy yield and enable more compact offshore wind farms.

These integrated drives ensure that during each revolution, the turbine blades adjust optimally to the water flow, and thus avoid the dangerous stall condition. This term describes the separation of ...

D printing technique from Chalmers University of Technology reduces cracking in turbine blades exposed to extreme heat and pressure.

Wind turbines are a fantastic, cheap, renewable source of energy. However, nothing lasts forever, and over time, the blades of wind turbines fatigue and must be replaced. This then raises the ...

A new method to recycle wind turbine blades without using harsh chemicals resulted in the recovery of high-strength glass fibers and resins that allowed researchers to re-purpose the materials to ...
