We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Turbine Blade",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Wind power in the back garden from
Protomold UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "For those who want to take energy production into their own hands, there is an alternative to relying on the national grid: Micro wind-turbines".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release IR camera monitors engine turbines from
Cedip Infrared Systems: "Cedip Infrared Systems' Silver 450M IR camera is being used by Snecma, for remote noncontact fatigue testing of engine turbine blades".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Waldmann Lighting
concerning its Waldmann Lighting fluorescent tube and LED lights
- take a look at Turbine manufacturer chooses illumination
which says: "Waldmann Lighting's borosilicate glass tube lights provide llumination in the tough environments required by RLC Callender, a turbine blade manufacturer".
Take a look also at the news release from GKS Inspection Services, GKS's Korean laser scanning office grows rapidly,
as well as Bolts help keep turbines under tension from James Walker Rotabolt,
and Software gains optional turbine blade module from Metris.
