Wind Turbines – Smart Paint Technology

An environmentally friendly paint that uses nanotechnology to detect unwanted movement or damage in large mechanical structures could be used as a safety mechanism for broken wind turbines. This smart paint is inexpensive and can simply be sprayed on to a mechanical device, and then attached electrodes are applied to detect any structural changes far enough in advance to prevent any severe structural damage. The paint, which is made out of aligned carbon nanotubes and fly ash is easy to apply Read More »
