Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / Wind turbines | | English term or phrase: Not your run-of-the-mill wind turbine | Hi everyone. The expression appears as the title of a science and tech magazine article. As you can guess, the article deals with a new generation of wind turbines (which can operate in a broader range of weather conditions).
The standard translations of "run-of-the-mill" don't work here, since I need to keep the pun (actually, all the articles in the mag have puns in their titles). Any ideas at this late hour? TIA. |

26 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +3 | not your run-of-the-mill wind turbine a X le va viento en popa
Explanation:
Use this only if preserving the pun is more important than a literal translation. I'd say "A X le va viento en popa", where X would be the name of the company that makes the wind turbines, or failing that, the name of the wind turbines themselves.
