New design does away with the need for a complex gearbox. GE Grabs Gearless Wind Turbines New direct-drive turbines promise to lower the cost of offshore wind energy. Less May Be More for Wind Turbines Nordic Windpower's two-bladed rotors depart from conventional wind-power design. A Design for Cheaper Wind Power A design that draws on jet engine technology could halve the cost of generating electricity from wind. A more efficient generator could convert more of the wind's energy into electricity. Laser Sensors for Wind Turbines A system that detects gusts before they arrive reduces wear, boosts output. Wind Power Moves into Deep Waters A floating wind turbine is planned for 10 kilometers off Norway. Building the Zero-Emissions City A city being built in Abu Dhabi will serve as a large-scale test for renewable energy. Advances in floating platforms could take wind farms far from coasts, reducing costs and skirting controversy. Machine will help update Florida's building codes for storms. Massive Offshore Wind Turbines Safe for Birds Infrared monitoring shows that savvy seabirds steer clear of wind turbines. [1]
