20130177434, Jul 11, 2013

Filed:

Jan 11, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/348586

Inventors:

Russell Craig Baucke - Loveland OH, US

International Classification:

F03D 11/00

US Classification:

416229 R

Abstract:

Wind turbine rotor blades include a shell having a leading edge opposite a trailing edge, a structural support member that supports the shell and is disposed internal the wind turbine rotor blade between the leading edge and the trailing edge and extends for at least a portion of a rotor blade span length, and a resistive cellular support structure disposed at least partially about the wind turbine rotor blade that physically supports at least a portion of the wind turbine rotor blade and at least partially absorbs radar energy.

US Classification:

416230

Abstract:

Wind turbine rotor blades with a reduced radar cross sections include a shell having a leading edge opposite a trailing edge, a structural support member that supports the shell and is disposed internal the wind turbine rotor blade between the leading edge and the trailing edge and extends for at least a portion of a rotor blade span length, wherein the structural support member comprises fiberglass, one or more cavities internal the wind turbine rotor blade, and a lightweight broadband radar absorbing filler material disposed in at least one of the one or more cavities to provide the reduced radar cross section.

Abstract:

Methods and systems for evaluating a material sample is provided. The system includes a material sample holder including a first flange having an aperture therethrough, a second flange having an aperture therethrough, the first and second flanges configured to frictionally hold a material sample sandwiched therebetween, a waveguide coupled to a first end of each of the first flange and the second flange, each waveguide configured to direct electromagnetic waves through respective apertures, a waveguide adapter communicatively coupled to a second end of each waveguide, and a control unit electrically coupled to the wave source, the control unit configured to control the waveguide adapter to transmit and receive electromagnetic wave signals.
