Seagull-inspired blades could give small-scale wind turbines a power boost

Blades shaped like seagull wings may significantly boost the power output of small-scale wind turbines

While we've already seen that large-scale wind turbine blades which are shaped like humpback whale fins can be more efficient, what works for big turbines doesn't necessarily work for little ones. In fact, a new study suggests that for small-scale units, copying seagull wings may be the way to go.
