  • Publication number: 20230220829
    Abstract: A wind turbine includes a blade. The blade includes a blade body; an active member mounted to the blade body and configured to move between a retracted position and an extended position to change an aerodynamic property of the blade; and a bladder which is configured to be connected to a pneumatic or hydraulic system of the wind turbine to move the active member when the bladder is filled by a fluid supplied by the pneumatic or hydraulic system, or when the fluid is removed from the bladder by the pneumatic or hydraulic system. The wind turbine includes a retaining means configured to prevent the active member from moving towards the extended position.

  • Patent number: 10283327
    Abstract: An apparatus for generating a flow of reactive gas for decontaminating a material, surface or area, comprises a first electrode member comprising a first plurality of conductive surfaces and a second electrode member comprising a second plurality of conductive surfaces. The second electrode member is arranged in spaced relationship with the first electrode member to define a reactor channel. The conductive surfaces are exposed to the reactor channel so as to form air gaps between the first plurality of conductive surfaces and the second plurality of conductive surfaces. An air blower generates a flow of air through the reactor channel.
