Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method for cleaning a wind turbine blade or a solar panel with a wind cinch device. The method includes applying a cleaning solution to a surface of a wind turbine blade or solar panel; affixing a wind cinch device around a high point of the wind turbine blade or solar panel; applying tension to one or more lines attached to the wind cinch device to control the pressure the wind cinch device applies to the surface of the wind turbine blade or solar panel; and applying tension to the one or more lines attached to the wind cinch device to pull the wind cinch device from the high point on the wind turbine blade or solar panel to a low point on the wind turbine blade or solar panel. Other embodiments of the present invention are directed to a Wind Cinch device. The Wind Cinch device includes a main body, the main body being an elongated member having a cleaning surface sufficient in length to form a loop around a wind turbine blade when wrapped around a wind turbine blade. The Wind Cinch device also includes a plurality of rigging points, each rigging point adapted to receive a line. Applying tension to one or more of the lines attached to the rigging points changes the circumference of the loop formed by wrapping the wind cinch device around the wind turbine blade.

A rotor wind turbine blades with attached mantle peridotite panel available to capture CO.sub.2 in air while the blades are rotating powers by the wind. Due to presence of Ca.sup.+ and Mg.sup.+ in the mantle peridotite glass cell, the panel composed of glass cells can conduct sequestration of carbon dioxide in air and the product of CO.sub.2 sequestration is mineralized carbon. Another means of CO.sub.2 sequestration in air is by placing the mantle peridotite panel at the top of the wing structure of plane and capture the CO.sub.2 while the plane is flying.

Disclosed is a device for the inspection or maintenance of devices, for example rotor blades of wind power plants. A frame structure can encompass the device, e.g. a rotor blade, and be used for the inspection or examination or cleaning of the rotor blade or other object. The frame structure has, for example, an inner opening which encloses the object during use. Propellers allow a horizontal movement of the frame structure and thus, for example, of a robot for examining the object. A vertical movement of the robot can be controlled by a cable suspension so that the vertical position of the examination device can be changed. A detection, cleaning, or monitoring system can be provided on the frame structure for detecting the condition of the object, cleaning, monitoring or treatment. A control station can be provided on the ground or on a transporter or other device.

An offshore wind turbine blade and tower maintenance devices and systems, more particularly, to the system for service tools positioning relative to the offshore wind turbine blade and tower. An arrangement for lowering and raising service tools used for offshore wind turbine blade and tower maintenance, having: a truss system, a rigging and a rigging pulling in and letting out means. The truss system, includes booms, pivotally attached to a supporting means, which are adapted to be leaned against or releasably fixed to a wind turbine tower or wind turbine tower mooring elements; wherein the rigging and a rigging pulling in and letting out means are operably connected with the truss system, so to allow lowering and raising service tools used for offshore wind turbine blade and tower maintenance.
