Abstract
Wind turbines have become a practical and efficient fossil fuels replacement for the generation of electrical energy. Characteristics optimized include weight, ease of manufacture and structural integrity. Ease of manufacturing has a direct relationship to costs. Lighter materials for blade construction are necessary to decrease blade weight and lengthen blades. Carbon fibers or composites of glass and carbon fibers are lighter than glass fibers. Hypothesis: controlling the speed of the infusion will allow the capacity to manage the speed of the infusion process and in that way control of the final composite material. Results showed that 68.5 meters has ...
