In this video, we delve into the remarkable story of James Blyth, a Scottish professor who invented the world’s first electricity-generating wind turbine in 1887. Blyth’s pioneering work in harnessing the power of wind energy laid the foundation for the modern wind turbine technology that we see today.

The yaw ring assembly fits in a machined groove in the nacelle main frame casting. Several studs are inserted to locate the ring as it is lowered into the groove. The ring is lifted and carefully lowered into position. The remaining studs are inserted and run down. Spacers are added, then nuts are installed and…
Video : Wind Turbine Yaw Movements and Gyroscopic Forces Under normal operational conditions, yaw movement may occur when the rotor is stopped or when it is turning. When the rotor is stopped, the force applied by the yaw drive needs to overcome only the inertia of the nacelle and the frictional forces at the yaw…
Core (Foam) Structural Used as reinforcement of “sandwich” composite materials, as it is rigid, light, and highly durable.It has been used in the composites industry for over 45 years in the manufacture of boats, planes, trucks, automobiles, wind turbine blades, building panels, etc. PET Foam (Polyethylene Terephthalate) It can be found in virgin or recycled…
