When asked as "wind power generator", many people remind me of windmill wing type rotors with huge feathers as large as several tens of meters in diameter, and indeed many windmills are used in ...

New research from Australia has shown that vortex generators and glass texturing have so far proved to be the most effective solutions among the novel methods explored for lowering the temperature of ...

University of New South Wales researchers have created vortex generators that can reportedly reduce the operating solar module temperature by up to 2.5 C. They built two different prototypes, based on ...

Russian researchers are refining the wing design for a proposed short-haul aircraft with overwing-mounted engines, to increase laminar flow. Initial models of the experimental aircraft design ...

It seems the US is clamoring for more versions of the Mitsubishi Evo (I think it’s the only good press that Mitsu gets now these days) and they a more than happy to oblige. Enter the Evo MR– 27.6 ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU), New York's Hometown Airline™, today announces plans to retrofit its entire Airbus fleet with noise-reducing vortex generators. This move reflects ...

A team of evolutionary biologists and engineers have demonstrated a new structure inspired by shark skin that could improve the aerodynamic performance of planes, wind turbines, drones, and cars. The ...

To build more aerodynamic machines, researchers are drawing inspiration from an unlikely source: the ocean. A team of evolutionary biologists and engineers at Harvard University, in collaboration with ...
