A single wind turbine blade weighs between 15,000-30,000 pounds and measures 100-300 feet long, but recycling retired blades has been an issue for the industry. Ohio-based Canvus wants to change that with their wind turbine blade benches and more.



These giant blades, cut into 40-foot sections, are transported to Canvus’ manufacturing facility in Avon where they are finished with epoxy paint. Other recycled materials, such as old tires, plastic waste, etc., are then worked into the design. This means each piece is different, and so far, benches have been shipped to 30 different public spaces.

SR-02 Quadruped Walking Robot Rhinoceros
Sansei Technologies’ SR-02 quadruped walking robot looks like a giant rhinoceros that you can actually ride. The company states that it’s an upgraded version of the world’s first quadruped walking robot ride capable of transporting multiple passengers.



It measures 3.6m (11.8ft) in length, 2.0m (6.6ft) in width and 2.1m (6.9ft) in height, and can walk on four legs while carrying a maximum of 4 passengers. Sansei Technologies specializes in amusement rides, so it’s safe to assume that SR-02 will eventually make its way to at least one theme park. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on if they plan to offer this robot for private sales.

For control software, Asratec’s robot control system ‘V-Sido’ is continuously employed to enable free operation by rider or operator with special controller,” said the company.
