A technique for harvesting low-speed wind energy using anchored ionic droplets has been developed by researchers in China and the UK. The approach – which taps into winds that are too weak to drive a ...

heavy low-pressure turbines with six stages or more. "Together with our partner, we took a different approach," he says. "We have decoupled the fan and low-pressure turbine speed using a gearbox." The ...

German wind turbine maker Nordex Group today debuted a 5-megawatt (MW) wind turbine for the US market that “significantly increases yield” in lower wind speeds. Nordex’s new onshore wind ...

are more easily set in motion by low-speed winds, making such turbines of potential economic interest to manufacturers. These low-wind turbines cost around 35%-45% more to set up than conventional ...
