Two-bladed floating turbine uses teetering hinge9 Mar 2022 11:22
Engineering and tech company Seawind Ocean technology has developed a floating offshore wind turbine demonstrator that can produce 6.2 megawatts of energy. Called the 6-126, the turbine uses a teetering hinge to separate the shaft and rotor – protecting the turbine from harmful and heavy loads. An active yaw control allows the turbine to run at higher speeds.
