Now in Turbines
Wind Turbines Under Stress
Wind turbines are impressive structures. But, even the mightiest wind generator can be brought down by something as small as a bearing. A new, high-fidelity Bearing Simulation Tool (BEAST) provides a clear picture of the behavior of bearings, wind turbine gearboxes, and rotating shafts during simulation.

Researchers at the University of Maryland’s MEMS Sensors and Actuators Laboratory are using an old technology to make fresh progress in reducing wear in microscale systems. Ball bearings the size of dust particles are now being incorporated into MEMS turbines hoped to power miniature pumps, motors, and generators as an alternative to batteries for handheld electronics.
