Vestas engineers checked and repaired the wind turbine brake on the morning of 22 February 2008. At the last routine inspection it was noted that the main gear of the turbine was also making unusual noises and a sophisticated endoscopic inspection of the gear was planned, but as result of its high cost it was not undertaken immediately.
A roof turbine ventilator, colloquially known as a 'Whirly Bird' is an application of wind driven ventilation. Passive ventilation is the process of supplying air to and removing air from an indoor space without using mechanical systems.
Acoustic sources within the "jet pipe" also contribute to the noise, mainly at lower speeds, which include combustion noise, and sounds produced by interactions of a turbulent stream with fans, compressors, and turbine systems. [1] The jet mixing sound is created by the turbulent mixing of a jet with the ambient fluid, in most cases, air.
Contemporary sustainable buildings often make use of the stack effect along with related non-electric techniques like ground coupling, earth sheltering, and evaporative cooling to enhance the passive cooling profile of a building. By carefully designing the building's structure, orientation and ventilation paths, architects can leverage the ...
An attic fan installed underneath a roof. A powered attic ventilator, or attic fan, is a ventilation fan that regulates the heat level of a building's attic by exhausting hot air. A thermostat is used to automatically turn the fan off and on, while sometimes a manual switch is used. An attic fan can be gable mounted or roof mounted. Additional ...

Almost all large wind turbines have the same design — a horizontal axis wind turbine having an upwind rotor with 3 blades, attached to a nacelle on top of a tall tubular tower. In a wind farm, individual turbines are interconnected with a medium voltage (often 34.5 kV) power collection system [25] and communications
Low pressure gas turbine for aircraft engine. AxSTREAM is a software suite designed by SoftInWay Inc. for the conceptual design of turbines and compressors and also thermodynamic calculations of existing turbomachinery on-design and off-design operation. The application area of the AxSTREAM software suite covers the design and redesign of ...
