While the rotation of the rotor of the wind turbine can be slowed by changing the pitch angle of the blades during aerodynamic braking, the rotor needs a mechanical main shaft brake to keep it stopped completely. Frictional force is an essential physics concept that will help explain the working mechanism of the main shaft…
Manufacturing defects in wind turbine blades are Dry Spots It can be dry spots and even large whitish areas, which show the lack of resin in the laminate.Glass fibers are dry because they have not been properly impregnated with resin. Excess Resin Regions with excess resin are more fragile and can crack more easily, in…

Electromagnetism Fundamentals Electric Charge The most fundamental quantity in electricity is electric charge. Energy transfer is accomplished by the motion of charge. Circuit In electricity, the path through which charge flows is called a circuit. Current The rate of motion of charge in a circuit is called current. The unit of current is the ampere…
