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. Machine will help update Florida's building codes for storms. Engineers have built a portable device that can simulate the effects of a hurricane. Massive Offshore Wind Turbines Safe for Birds Infrared monitoring shows that savvy seabirds steer clear of wind turbines. [1]
