Researchers in Canada have proposed using gravity-based energy storage in high-rise buildings, in combination with photovoltaic facades, small wind turbines, and lithium-ion batteries. Their modeling ...

From a distance, a downburst can look like a torrent of heavy rain. But at ground level, its behavior can be far more destructive. When a downburst’s winds hit the ground, they shoot out horizontally ...

Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...
