He’s building one that floats.The ocean is like a gold mine of wind energy, says Northeastern engineer Andrew Myers, who has designed a new kind of wind turbine that could help the offshore wind industry finally pick up speed. Sustainable design for sustainable energyAndrew Myers, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering, recently received a $325,000 NSF grant to model the vulnerabilities of wind turbines during hurricanes.
