Here in Florida, property insurance must go beyond a standard Homeowners policy. Because we experience hurricanes and tropical storms, windstorm and flood coverage are strongly recommended, and ...

For more than a century, engineers designing wind turbine blades have relied on aerodynamic formulas dating back to the 1800s — equations they’ve known for decades don’t hold up under real-world ...

For 79 years, the Wright Brothers Wind Tunnel at Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been a mainstay of the institution, serving as a home for aviation innovation and product testing. This month ...

A team from MIT is working on developing ionic wind thrusters as an energy-efficient, low-emission alternative to conventional propulsion technologies like jet engines. The new thrusters would use ...

The blades of propellers and wind turbines are designed based on aerodynamics principles that were first described mathematically more than a century ago. But engineers have long realized that these ...

ExRo Technologies, a startup based in Vancouver, BC, has developed a new kind of generator that’s well suited to harvesting energy from wind. It could lower the cost of wind turbines while increasing ...
