“We Don’t Make Drones. We Make Drones Work,” according to drone company Measure’s website. You’d be forgiven if your takeaway here is that while the company doesn’t manufacture drones, but they do ...

Building and operating offshore wind farms is an expensive business. To be able to estimate the profitability of the plants, first the wind potential must be determined. Researchers have now created a ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This paper describes a new light weight anemometer and wind vane, together with associated equipment. The characteristics of pitot static, ...

A first-of-its-kind study by researchers at the University of Minnesota (UMN) using snow during a Minnesota blizzard is giving researchers new insight into the airflow around large wind turbines. This ...

Atmospheric scientists have developed an algorithm that uses data from water vapor movements to measure wind. This could help predict extreme events like hurricanes. Wind speed and direction provide ...

"Wind turbines oscillate with displacements of up to a meter in magnitude, even at normal wind speeds. This represents a large load for the material, which can lead to damage and worst case to failure ...

If you're looking for wind energy, the sweetest breezes blow over the open sea. But gathering this energy is risky business, as the strength of offshore winds can easily overwhelm a turbine designed ...

The Army wants mini wind-detectors to help snipers measure crosswinds as far as 1,500 meters away, contracting documents reveal. These electronic devices could serve as aids to help snipers fire on ...

If you’re into activities such as windsurfing, sailing or kite-flying, then you’re going to want to know where and how hard the wind is blowing. While weather reports may give average wind speeds for ...

The planet Mars has several similarities with Earth, including extinct volcanoes, dry lake beds, and active dust storms, the last of which is governed by the Red Planet’s prevailing winds. However, ...
