    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

    For the wind turbine blades, while the material cost is much higher for hybrid glass/carbon fiber blades than all-glass fiber blades, labor costs can be lower. Using carbon fiber allows simpler designs that use less raw material. The chief manufacturing process in blade fabrication is the layering of plies.

  4. Turbine blade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbine_blade

    The turbine blades are often the limiting component of gas turbines. [4] To survive in this difficult environment, turbine blades often use exotic materials like superalloys and many different methods of cooling that can be categorized as internal and external cooling, [5] [6] [7] and thermal barrier coatings.

  5. Small wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_wind_turbine

    Turbine blades for small-scale wind turbines are typically 1.5 to 3.5 metres (4 ft 11 in – 11 ft 6 in) in diameter and produce 0.5-10 kW at their optimal wind speed. [1] Most small wind turbines are horizontal-axis wind turbines , [ 2 ] but vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) may have benefits in maintenance and placement, although they are ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windmill

    The windmills at Kinderdijk in the village of Kinderdijk, Netherlands is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A windmill is a structure that converts wind power into rotational energy using vanes called sails or blades, by tradition specifically to mill grain (), but in some parts of the English-speaking world, the term has also been extended to encompass windpumps, wind turbines, and other applications.

  9. Darrieus wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrieus_wind_turbine

    The turbine consists of a number of curved aerofoil blades mounted on a rotating shaft or framework. The curvature of the blades allows the blade to be stressed only in tension at high rotating speeds. There are several closely related wind turbines that use straight blades. This design of the turbine was patented by Georges Jean Marie Darrieus ...
