Seagulls have inspired Geelong researchers’ new device for “small-scale” production of green energy. Deakin University’s Dr. Jorg Schluter used the shape and function of seagull wings to design a “modern generation” of wind turbine blades. The blades delivered up to 15 percent more power than a conventional wind turbine, his research found. Dr. Schluter said research into small-scale turbines was previously lacking. “We saw the potential to improve the generating capacity of the small-scale turbines and looked to the sky for ideas to improve the blade design “I think many of us have stood at the shoreline at some point in our lives and marveled at sea birds soaring in the breeze, mastering aerodynamics better than anything man-made.” The new design could improve green power generation in remote locations, Dr. Schluter said. “Increasing the capacity of these small-scale turbines make them far more useful for reliable power generation, especially in rural and remote a...

A two day workshop on Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) was conducted on 27 th  April and 4 th  May ,2019, by the team SATVAN, from Federal Institute Of Science And Technology.
