Massive 40-MW floating wind turbine array wins major tick of approval

『V』πšƒ『B』Casts┋
While the quest for pulling more megawatts from wind turbines has generally led to bigger and bigger rotors on turbines of conventional design – like this monster 22-MW number in China – Norway’s Wind Catching Systems (WCS) has taken a different path. It claims its mega-array of smaller rotors arranged in a grid would achieve up to 126 MW, or five times the energy of a 15-MW single-rotor turbine, in North Sea conditions – and even more in some other locations around the world.

A quantum processor has revealed a previously unobserved exotic phase of matter. The discovery highlights the role of quantum computers in advancing fundamental physics. Phases of matter describe the fundamental forms materials can take, such as water existing as liquid or ice. Traditionally, scientists have defined these phases under equilibrium, when a system remains stable [...] http://dlvr.it/TP46wz
