US Researchers Build Palm Tree-Like Hurricane Resilient Turbines

Takeaways:

• Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder have built wind turbines that can survive the strong winds of hurricanes like palm trees do.
• They found that they can build turbines with lighter and less material that can be flexible and bend in the face of strong winds.
• The researchers have already begun modelling work for turbines that could generate 25 MW and even 50 MW of power.
