The towering structures are often taller than the Statue of Liberty and can adjust to changes in the wind to maximize energy generation. Wind turbines are a modern marvel, harnessing the power of the wind to generate clean electricity. But how are they ...

ORONO, Maine -- As waves grew and gusts increased, a wind turbine bobbed gently, its blades spinning with a gentle whoosh. The tempest reached a crescendo with little drama other than splashing water. The uneventful outcome is exactly what engineers aimed for.

Subaru and jet turbines? The keiretsu doesn't build turbines itself, but it has plenty of experience with them through its aerospace division building planes like the Fuji T-7 and helicopters like the AH-64DJP, a US Apache built under license, and the Bell-based 412EPX. Though this probably won't be much like either of those.

Reservoir drainage has begun for the turbine building foundation at Leningrad II Unit 7, part of Russia’s VVER-1200 expansion replacing aging RBMK reactors.

Northern California has some of the strongest offshore winds in the U.S., with immense potential to produce clean energy. But it also has a problem. Its continental shelf drops off quickly, making building traditional wind turbines directly on the seafloor ...
