The prototype of the new wind turbine has worked firmly for more than 500 days and has proven its effectiveness at the level of classic three -lobed models.

The Chinese company Envision Energy, one of the world’s leaders in the field of green energy, has shown the test results of the modern -day two -blade wind turbine, which worked for more than 500 days with wonderful stability. According to Intersting Engineering, at which time the prototype reached a level of access to 99.3%, showed 2444 medium hours between failures and 3048 equal full loading hours, matching the productivity of the classic three -lobed installation in the same area.

To evaluate reliability, the system passes complex laboratory tests and for almost two years of operation in the training area with tests under different conditions. In particular, it is tested on a unique test installation with a multi -vector loading, making it possible to simulate dose -a -high scenarios and adapt the system to real conditions.

“Having overcome basic technical barriers as excessive vibration and loading of absence-obstacles that for a long time have prevented the development of two-blade structures-envisions sets the tone in the air energy,” said Lu Yimin, the company’s senior vice president.

In addition to technical benefits, the new design is practical: fewer components, weight loss and relief transportation promises for use in distant or difficult logistics regions, which can be especially important for countries where it is difficult to promote large three -lobed systems.

The company is sure that their success will not only open up new opportunities for the global market, but it also helps to speed up the transition to pure energy.

We will remind you, earlier reported that the wind became a major source of electricity in Britain.

In Ukraine, more than 800 MW of the wind generation will be built in 2025

Russian budget deficiency exceeds the annual plan

The greatest decrease was observed with oil and gas revenues on the Budget of the Russian Federation, worth 5.2 trillion rubles – the fall accelerated by 18.5% in the annual terms.

According to January-July results of 2025, Russia’s federal budget was completed with a deficiency of 4.9 trillion rubles, which significantly exceeded the annual landmark of 3.8 trillion rubles. This is proven by initial estimates of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, report The Moscow Times.

In particular, in July, the deficiency increased by 1.2 trillion rubles. The revenues for a month cost 2.7 trillion rubles, while the costs are 3.9 trillion rubles, which significantly exceeds June (3.2 trillion rubles).

In seven months, 25.2 trillion rubles were spent from the budget from 42.3 trillion rubles planned for a year. Whereas in December it is traditionally expected to survive.

To return to planned indicators, from July to November the Budget of the Russian Federation must reach a significant excess, analysts explained.

Within seven months, Russian budget revenues grew only 2.8%, while costs were 20.8%. In real size, the income is even reduced. Oil and gas revenues worth 5.2 trillion rubles are most interrupted – the collapse accelerates to 18.5% in the annual size (compared to 16.9% per half years). The reason is to reduce oil prices and strengthen the ruble.

Due to the collapse of oil and gas revenues, the Russian Federation government has been prepared for the second time this year to check the budget-in September, with the draft budget for the next “three-year-old” will make adjustments to the current budget.

At the same time, experts expect to increase the country’s budget shortage – from 5 to 9 trillion rubles.

Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service confirms that revenues in the Russian Federal Budget from the oil and gas sector in January-July 2025 have been reduced by 19 % compared to the same period last year-to $ 69.2 billion.

Thus, the average Urals oil price reduced by 18.4 % to $ 60.37 per barrel. At the same time, the ruble from the beginning of the year was boosted by 45 %, from 113.71 to 81.25 per US dollar. The gas supply to the EU fell 50 % – up to 9.93 billion m³.

Intelligence emphasized that lowering energy revenues will emphasize the increase in Russian economic weakness at external pressure.

“To pay for the deficiency, the Russian Federation plans to more actively use National Welfare Fund funds and reduce budget articles to supply war against Ukraine,” the report explained.

Earlier it was found that the Russian FNB continued to dissolve. According to the May results, its size reduced to 11.7 trillion rubles – at least since 2019. In fact, available funds have been reduced further.

Remember that a review of the foreign economic state of the Russian Federation, published by Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service, suggests that Russia can “eat” FNB by 2026 due to rapid reduction of oil revenues.

Volkswagen will stop making touareg and id.5

The company completes the 24-year history of Premium Touareg in 2026 and prepares to stop the release of ID.5 Electrocrospector in 2027.

Volkswagen is preparing to say goodbye to the two models at the same time: the flagship Touareg SUV and ID.5 electric crossover. According to Autocar, the mention of internal resources, Touareg’s production will end in 2026, and ID.5 will stop a year later.

Touareg, who debuted in 2002, was part of VW Ferdinanda Pozda’s ambitious ex-head plan to advance the brand in the premium segment. It was developed along with the first Porsche Cayenne on the same platform and symbolized Volkswagen’s desire to become a high player paired with Phaeton Sedan.

However, priorities have changed today. The new Tayron, represented in several markets, including the UK, has actually replaced Touareg. This SUV has a less premium but more universal character and is dedicated to a wider audience. Tayron is available in two and three-row adjustments, provides a traction capacity of up to 2500 kg (with a change of 2.0 TSI 4motion) and has a more flexible salon.

Touareg’s coagulation without a direct successor actually completed Volkswagen’s 23-year-old test to get a foothold in the premium segment.

Along with this, the company also rejected the ID model.5 – an integrated -joint version of ID.4 electric resolver, which appeared in the market in 2021. The model was focused primarily in China, but it would not achieve popularity. In the USA, ID.5 was not sold at all, and in Europe it lost in a more practical ID.4.

The end of ID.5 is scheduled for 2027 and part of a broader approach for reducing the model range to focus on mass segments.

We will remind you, earlier it was reported that Volkswagen 20 thousand employees had been deleted.

Mitsubishi finally left China after nearly 30 years of work
