System could detect – and prevent – eagle strikes on wind turbines

It’s a shame when any bird is killed by colliding with the spinning blades of a wind turbine, but it’s particularly sad when that bird is a protected species. With that in mind, scientists are developing technology that could both deter eagles away from turbines, and detect when they hit the blades.
