Biomimicry Leads to Wing-Like Blades to Increase Power Generation from Wind Turbines

The albatross, one of the world's most studied birds, inspired a significant improvement in wind turbine blade design. By studying the wings of this fascinating bird, wind turbines can now operate at lower wind speeds resulting in increased energy production. Eize Stamhuis (Associate Professor of Experimental Marine Zoology & Biomimetics at ESRIG/FSE) is involved in the Albatrozz project, together with the companies RG Projects and EmpowerMi.
