Trends in Mechanical engineering

Here are some of the trending news on internet about mechanical and related fields.

Global Warming entering a crucial stage

Floating Turbines Men’s struggle to harness high altitude wind energy

"There is enough energy in high altitude winds to power civilization 100 times over."
Altaeros Buoyant Air Turbine 1

Giant donut or some type of new helium filled balloon that kids love to have, that is perhaps your first gut feeling about what Altaeros Energies has created. BAT that's what they call it (short for buoyant air turbine). Its “unmanned, helium filled, cylindrical blimp wrapped around three fine spinning blades" turning winds into electricity .Designed by a group of graduates in Greentown Labs Somerville, Massachusetts. Main purpose of BAT is to capture high attitude winds which are stronger and steadier.

Free Online Mechanical Engineering Courses (Part-2)

Continuing with our previous post, we will be sharing some new courses on Mechanical engineering available on the platform of Coursera.

Free Online Mechanical Engineering Courses (Part-1)

With the introduction of revolutionary MOOCs (Massive open online courses), access to free world class education has become very easy. People can learn from world class professors while sitting at home anywhere on the planet.
While MOOCs offers multitude to courses on different topics, in this blog I will be focussing on courses related to Mechanical engineering available on Edx.
